Alvin Liu: Sake Katana

A samurai escapes Japan and finds himself in the heart of London.

Sake Katana.

The fastest sword in Japan.

Clashing Western lands.

A mischievous and heart-warming comedy about honour, identity and very Western problems.

Meet a proud samurai who’s fled a shattered past to start again in the West. He keeps his ancient code and wears wooden sandals on the Piccadilly Line. The show is absurd and tender, driven by audience interaction and the fragile bravery of a clown. Expect cultural mayhem, surprising vulnerability and plenty of ha-ha moments.

Inspired by The Last Samurai and Shanghai Noon, Sake Katana  explores what happens when samurai seriousness meets fish-out-of-water chaos. Perfect for fans of clown theatre, East-meets-West stories and anyone curious about Asian culture in a modern London setting.
