I was very impressed! I didn't see the London version of Shun-Kin but I did see the one in Tokyo. The UK criticism has been very naive in my opinion. I read Lyn Gardner, Michael Coveney and Charles Spencer reviews - all seemed happy to base their opinions on cultural clichés. My feeling is that most thinkers have acknowledged and overcome orientalism in the 21st century, but the critics still reduce their readings of this production to binaries of 'us and them'.
