友達「Friends」by Abe Kōbō

友達「Friends」by Abe Kōbō

友達「Friends」
Written by Abe Kōbō
Directed by MFA candidate Robert Morris III

November 15-22, 2025
A Late Night Theatre Company Production

Friends, an absurdist comedy by Abe Kōbō, asks the question “what do you do when 9 eccentric strangers knock on your door, invite themselves in, and decide to make themselves at home?” 90 minutes of slapstick comedy, flirtatious dialogue, and misunderstandings make this the comedy event of the season. This new staging from Late Night Artistic Director Robert Morris reimagines the world of Abe’s play as a studio taping of a sitcom and features live jazz music from a studio band. With its unique mix of music, comedy, and modern themes…there is something here for everyone to enjoy! Bring your own friends and be part of our live studio audience!

Late Night Theatre Company strives to create relevant and innovative performance art-making that dismantles oppression, fosters skills in a pre-professional environment, and empowers our local, national, and global communities. Late Night productions are by, for, and about UHM students.

Please note that tickets to all Late Night Theatre Company performances will only be available at the Kennedy Theatre Box Office starting one hour before each performance.
