About the Show

Sharing of wartime propaganda brings trouble to the doorstep of Iva Toguri in this new musical.

1949. Maryhee Yoon and Cara Baldwin's brand new musical looks at the true story of Iva Toguri: the Japanese DJ embroiled in the scandal of sharing propaganda with Allied Forces in wartime. In this show, Toguri stands trial and we are asked to consider the hard truth behind the big story. Recipient of The Edinburgh Untapped Award & the Les Enfants Terribles Stepladder Award.
