Uehara Takako makes a comeback with stage play "Kuchizuke" After taking an indefinite hiatus from show business, she will appear in the new Takufes stageplay “Kuchizuke”.
The butai was written by Takayuki Takuma, based on a true story from newspaper article published 10 years ago. It was first performed in 2010 and also had a movie based on it, Angel Home, which came out in 2013.
“The story focuses on a famous mangaka who moves into the Angel Home as a live-in on-site staffer to be with his daughter Mako. Mako, while being a full-grown adult female, has the mentality of a small child. Being concerned for Mako’s well being, the mangaka moves into the home to make sure that she’ll do well. At the same time, he thinks about leaving and going back to being a mangaka provided that Mako is safe at the Angel Home. But, things take an interesting turn for him and those that live inside the Angel Home as a result.” 1
