The events described in this exciting and provocative three-act play, a companion piece to Endo's highly acclaimed novel Silence, take place in 1633, nearly a 100 years after Chistianity was intorduced into Japan. By the time, Japanese Christians were being cruelly persecuted by the government; every Christian searched out was made to apstatize or suffer a slow, agonizing death.
