Winter Troupe’s 7th Play: Hotel Compass 4/ 4
In a certain region, in a certain town lies Hotel Compass.
Established over one hundred years ago, the hotel sits far from popular tourist destinations and even the nearest train station. Unfortunately with its poor location, competing hotels have quickly snatched up many potential guests and this once grand hotel has begun to fall into disrepair.
The hotel has also been short staffed for quite some time, forcing the owner, Owari, and manager, Tsuzuki, to perform the majority of the maintenance and upkeep of the hotel. They spend each day tending to the needs of their few, but always eccentric guests.
Note: The theme of this play is “compass” with all the characters have direction-based names. I have included the character’s names in Kanji along with the double-meaning.
Azuma as Owari (尾張, sounds like “終わり, End”)
Guy as Tsuzuki (津々木, sounds like “続き,Continuation”)
Homare as Higashikawa (東川, East river)
Tasuku as Minami (三波, sounds like “南, South”)
Hisoka as Nishi (西, west)
Tsumugi as Kitami (北見, north view)
Due to the length of this play, I will be posting it in 4 parts.
