		Kabuki is truly a theatrical spectacle, combining form, color and sound into one of the world's great theatrical traditions.

	Private view
		During a performance of a Kabuki play at the Kabukiza theatre, there was a sudden commotion and a very drunken man climbed on to the hanamichi, a raised and footlit platform through the audience from the back of the stalls to the stage.
		But I have digressed; after this man had beaten the stage manager in the Kabukiza theatre, another man, Chobei, stepped calmly on to the stage and asked the thug to return to his seat.
		The image that really haunts me is the account given of Chobei's farewell to his young son, who, unaware of the nature of Chobei's work that day, ran out to him as he left and asked him not to be late home from work that evening.
