Daniel MacIvor

The Best Brothers

Five classmates come together for their thirtieth high-school reunion. Some see it as a welcome trip home, while others see it as an obligation, and a few never even left. But as the night wears on, the one-time classmates start to reconnect and reminisce. And the more alcohol that's consumed the closer the friends come to confronting their darkest secrets. Once again, Daniel MacIvor proves to us that just because we're all grown up doesn't mean we have everything figured out. His characters are sometimes naive, often crass, but always honest. As they try to reclaim their high-school glory days, these five friends charge headfirst into the secrets they all tried to run so far from.

On a publicity tour in Japan, Carl, a Canadian author, finds himself falling in love amidst the sacred stages of Noh theatre and the seedy dance clubs in Tokyo, wired on cocaine and sake. His object of affection is the young, seductive actor, Yori, but the affair becomes complicated when Carl?s translator and Yori?s sister, Nushi, becomes entranced with him. As his tour continues, he straddles the fragmentary place between two cultures?one of individuality and directness, the other of tradition and formality?and uncovers the dualities that exist in life and love. Based on The Tale of Genji, one of the world?s oldest pieces of literature, MacIvor?s script takes us into the centre of a clandestine Japan as experienced by the visiting outsider.
