...specter lurks throughout Shimoda, and you can sense her troubled soul best at Anchokuro, the restaurant she ran after Harris left for America, and at Hofukuji, where her bones lay in repose. The consul gone and reconciliation with her former lover Tsurumatsu failed, Okichi drowned herself like an Asian Ophelia in a river near Shimoda in 1892. "She persevered for Japan," said bus driver Kaoru Okabe. "But it must have been tough...
Sanders' other daughter, Janean Fuller, 18, is more forgiving. She spent a long weekend with him at Ophelia's house in August, and Jean washed and waxed the neighbors' cars so he could take her to see Rush Hour 2.

Among her other roles, minor characters like Guildenstern and a sailor, Thomas’ impeccable timing and ability to express a flaky personality add to the comic relief incorporated into the play...
