Recently, CLIE launched an official site for the third play based on the Persona 3 video game. The third plays is entitled Persona 3: The Weird Masquersade ~Soeun no Kesshou (Bismuth Crystal)~. We don’t have any plot details yet, but the previous cast is returning for the third play. The play will be directed by Makoto Kimura — who also directed the second play — and the script will be worn by Kotora Kagurazarwa. It will be performed in the G-Rosso theater in Tokyo Dome City from June 4-June 13 so you die-hard fans might want to reserve those tickets.
Persona 3 has had two plays previously — Ao no Kakusei (Blue Awakening) and Gunjyou no Meikyou(Ultimate Labyrinth) –– based on the popular JRPG. For those that are unfamiliar with the plot of the game, Persona 3 has you spend half the time in an anime high school and the other climbing magical hell tower, trying to decide which takes more of a toll on your soul.
