He soon sets up a basecamp and begins to study the petrified humans in order to determine the cause of the event, as well as a cure. The Tokyo performance will take place until July 18. From July 21 until July 24, the stage play will be held at AiiA 2.5 Theater Kobe in Hyogo.   Those unable to see the performance in person can stream the July 9 performance until July 16!  

Comment from Tsubasa Kizu (Senku)

“My name is Tsubasa Kizu and I play Senku. Less than a month into our rehearsals, we’ve been powering our way through!I’ll do my best to make sure that there are no injuries on set, and that myself and this wonderful cast and crew successfully complete this stage run. I really want to share how fun science can be with the audience, even if just a little bit. We’ll give it our all, so please continue supporting us until the very end!”   Ⓒ米スタジオ・Boichi／集英社・「Dr.STONE」THE STAGE製作委員会
