Frontier Works' mixed-media franchise PROJECT SCARD is getting a stage play adaptation titled, Praeter the Stage, this Fall.
Sho Kubota is writing and directing the play.
Hiroki Nakada is cast as Eiji Arashiba and Shuji Kikuchi is cast as Yamato Kai.
Praeter the Stage is set to be performed at Kyoto Theater in Kyoto from November 12-14, 2021, and then at Hulic Hall in Tokyo from November 18-21, 2021.
The franchise's story is set in the fictional "Akatsuki special ward" of Tokyo, formed as a "lawless" independent state after the Akatsuki rebellion overthrew the ward's corporate masters. Maintaining order over the ward are three organizations — Helios, Artemis, and the Public Safety Bureau — who all employ agents known as "Scard." These agents are marked with Divine Tattoos that grant them the power to turn away any bullet or blade, making them virtually invulnerable.
