Publisher's Summary

Ken Narasaki's adaptation of the novel by Japanese American author John Okada is set during the aftermath of the US government's incarceration of 120,000 people of Japanese descent during World War II and the resettlement of Japanese Americans to the West Coast. In the play, Ichiro returns to Seattle, where he struggles to transition into post-war life.

Recorded at The Invisible Studios, West Hollywood, in January 2021.

No-No Boy is sponsored in part by the California Civil Liberties Program from the California State Library.
