Synopsis of \u2018Run Melos\u2019<\/strong>
\nA once lively town has become a dead town. The king has started to distrust his people and begun to kill them off one after another. When Melos, a na\u00efve young shepherd tries to assassinate the king, he is arrested. In order to attend his younger sister\u2019s wedding, the king allows Melos to postpone his execution for three days. In exchange, Melos\u2019s friend Selinuntius is left as a hostage. If Melos does not come back in three days time, before sundown, his friend will be executed instead of him. Once the wedding is over, Melos runs over the hills and through the forests. But the raging river, attacks by bandits and the devil\u2019s whisper get in his way. Despite these tribulations, Melos runs; for his friend who believes in him and waits for him to return. \u201cTonight, I will be killed. I run to be killed.\u201d Run, run, run Melos! At sundown he arrives in the town and fulfils his promise. When the king sees the two young men hugging each other tightly and crying for joy, he repents of his tyranny and peace returns to the town. Director: Erica Yamada, Cast: Hiroyuki Seguchi (The Greco Roman Style), Nobuyuki Gomi (Muhosha), Masumi Mosa (Space GIGA Theatre Troupe), Takuya Ikee<\/p>\n
