The play was originally performed in Tokyo in November 2013 and in Osaka in April 2014; some roles have been recast, including Ray Fujita as Vicente and Kenji Mitamura as Duke Castagni.
The story is set off the coast of Italy, where pirates capture a Genoese ship. They discover that one of the men on board is not a man at all, but Bianca Castagni, the daughter of a prominent duke in opposition to Genoa. She had been married into the Genoese ducal family to secure peace, but political opponents of the Castagnis had driven her into exile. Now she must become one of the pirates.
Tickets preorders opened on August 1 on e+, Ticketpia, and Lawson; they cost 6,800 yen (or about US$55). The Glass Mask manga began in 1975 and has still not ended, although Suzue Miuchi, its artist, claims that she is approaching the conclusion.
