Nishi sends for a picture bride from Japan\, but sneaks a photo of his handsome friend in his place. The brides arrive and fall in love &mdash\; with the wrong man &mdash\; setting off&nbsp\; a comedy of errors with mistaken identity\, t ragic drowning\, seeming betrayal and a final surprise turn of events\, c olorfully visualized with mime and movement. Like Horton Foote whose fami ly dramas define Texas country life\, septuagenarian Sakamoto\, specializ es in the rich fabric of Hawaiian myth and language in exploration of mig ration and family dynamics \n \n EDWARD SAKAMOTO&nbsp\;(P laywright) returns to Pan Asian Repertory Theatre with FISHING FOR WIVES\ , his nineteenth play in a career spanning five decades. His plays have b een staged in various venues\, including East West Players in Los Angeles \, Kumu Kahua Theatre in Hawai'i and in cities like Sacramento\, San Fran cisco\, Stockton\, etc. In 1998 Sakamoto received the Hawai'i Award for L iterature\, the highest literary honor presented by the Hawai'i State Cou ncil. Then Gov. Cayetano presented the award to Sakamoto in a special cer emony at the Hawai'l State Capitol. He received Po'okela theater awards f or ALOHA LAS VEGAS and OUR HEARTS WERE TOUCHED WITH FIRE. During his care er he was awarded the Rockefeller Foundation Playwright in Residence gran t. He was graduated from the University of Hawai'i with a B.A. degree in English. He worked thirty years as a newspaperman spending twenty years a s a copy editor at the Los Angeles Times.
