Jingo Kogo
Drama of Works presents the tale of Jingo Kogo, a Japanese Warrior Empress, set out on a trip to destroy her enemies, defy her late husband and bare the future emperor of Japan, only to return to fight her own kin for the crown of her homeland.



This play was originally produced as part of The Lady Cavaliers' 2002 Woman-at-Arms festival.
