The Puella Magi Madoka Magica  franchise (trailer here) has received widespread critical acclaim for it's unconventional approach to the magical girl sub-genre as a darkly powerful metaphor for depression in young girls.

​
This female-led production starred an  all-female cast; 10 members of  Keyakizaka46 lead by female director Akiko Kodama (Live Spectacle Naruto, Fairy Tail stage plays) and Alex as Creative Director with a puppetry focus.

​​Whole Hog Theatre is continuing its research and development in Tokyo as we work to become leaders in the field of Anglo-Japanese collaborative theatrical work.  We hope to build further on the UK-Japan partnerships initiated with Princess Mononoke to create new, collaborative adaptations of Japanese source material that encourage diversity and new audiences in the theatre. ​​
