The musical "Prisoner Women," which sold out and received rave reviews at Mimosa Fest (Theater Kai), is based on a novel depicting the life of Tomoe Yamashiro, a Showa-era women's liberation activist and novelist, while she was imprisoned. Tomoe Yamashiro is also known as the editor of "The Cart Song" and "In This Corner of the World."

This production, Side B Front Populé, is a spin-off of that work, with Tomoe Yamashiro's husband, Yoshimune Yamashiro, as the protagonist. It is a musical depicting the Iwaki coal mine strike by Yoshimune, who died young, and the activities of young female workers. Gospel, coal mine workers' songs, and the sound of J.S. Bach are combined, and the powerful singing voices of veteran actresses who have been active in Warabi-za, Shiki Theatre Company and Shingeki Theatre Company, as well as young talents, enhance the drama. Enjoy the charm of musicals with a danceable, live feel, including live music. This is truly the birth of the Showa era's Les Misérables. The history of women who sought liberation and pursued the joy of living is portrayed by an all-female cast. Enjoy and learn.
