Book Reviews of The Teahouse of the August Moon.

Book Review: Funny
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a play adapted from the novel with the same title. It is witty and easy to read. The characters are hilarious and fun. After World War II Okinawa in Japan was occupied by U.S. Forces. This play is about how the American forces tried to turn the "savage" and "uncivilized" Japanese citizens into "intelligent" and "civilized" people. An under experienced officer is sent to a small village to authorize the building of a school and the forming of a democratic society in the village. Instead of changing the villagers he is changed.
