There are very little archival items on Tokyo Grand Guignol's works such as this one, even less so in English, yet this is one of the only plays that has publicly viewable video footage, being a short promotional performance played on live television as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9mwxdCXMdc Original Tumblr release page I got this from: https://www.tumblr.com/eyeodyssey/650751252554219520/tokyo-grand-guignol-mercury-transcript-happy-to Original play script this translation was based on: https://keikotoendlessart.blogspot.com/search/label/%23%E6%9D%B1%E4%BA%AC%E3%82%B0%E3%83%A9%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AE%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A7%E3%83%AB?updated-max=2024-11-10T13:44:00-06:00&max-results=20&start=1&by-date=false
