Alvin Liu: Sake Katana

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.
