Two great lords (Futari Daimyo)
Two Great Lords, or Futari Daimyo, is a play from the traditional kyogen repertory and dates over 400 years old. It brings the spirit of kyogen to life as a passerby is forced into service by two supposed great lords out traveling. In this delightful “weak overcoming the strong” parable, the passerby turns the tables, depriving the lords of their belongings, and yet somehow leaving them, and the audience, in laughter.
