“役者が花”なら、裏方は灯。

その灯が消えたら、舞台は真っ暗や。

If actors are the flowers, stagehands are the light.

When that light goes out, the stage turns pitch-black.

【あらすじ】

大黒座の狂言方・吉村は、人のよさと調子のよさで劇場を回しながら、良子との縁談を真剣に考えている。番頭・河村は、師匠・市川昇次郎に仕え続ける「影の男」。若手の昇は、名跡を継ぐ期待を背負いながら、恋と役者道の狭間で揺れていた。

ある晩、昇に「彼女がいる」という噂が確信に変わり、昇次郎は河村へ“別れ話をまとめろ”と命じる。ところが、その役目が河村の胸を裂く。守りたいのは師匠の未来か、妹の涙か。さらに吉村もまた、裏方としての矜持と恋心の間で踏ん張ることになる。

笑いが転がる楽屋口の空気が、やがて「芝居を生きる」という覚悟に火をつける——。恋も名跡も、裏も表も飲み込んで、舞台は次の幕へ進んでいく。

At the backstage entrance of Daikoku-za, Yoshimura—a kyōgenkata stagehand—keeps the theater running with easy charm, while quietly taking his future with Ryōko to heart. Kawamura, the head attendant, has spent years as the “shadow man,” devoted to his master, Ichikawa Shōjirō. And Shō, the rising young star, carries the weight of inheriting a celebrated name—caught between love and the path of an actor.

One night, rumors that Shō has “someone” become impossible to ignore. Shōjirō orders Kawamura to settle the matter—to make the breakup happen. But the task tears at Kawamura’s chest: should he protect his master’s future, or his own sister’s tears? Meanwhile, Yoshimura too is forced to stand his ground, caught between a stagehand’s pride and the feelings he can’t easily speak.

What begins as laughter and bustle at the backstage door gradually ignites into a fierce resolve to “live for the stage.” Love, legacy, and loyalty—front and back of the theater—collide, and yet the curtain moves forward into the next act… toward a choice that binds hearts rather than breaks them.
