When Okinawan dramas are clasified, those
that deal with the history or legends of the Ryukyus are generally
called "kyuugeki"(old drama). The well-known dramas of "kyuugeki"
are "Nakijin Yuraiki"(The History of Nakijin), "Gosamaru Chuuyuuden"(The
Story of Loyal Gosamaru), or "Amawari・Yonabaru no Hama" (Amawari・the
Yonabaru Beach) all of which deal with the history or the legends
of Okinawa. As dramas with spectacles, "Shurijoo Akewatashi" and "Kiiroi
Gunkan"(A Yellow Warship) were performed from Taisho era to Showa.
In the middle of Taisho era, as a "Rensa geki", in which a stage and
a film were linked, "Nasake no Hikari", "Okuyama no Botan", "Yakushidoo",
"Untamagiru" were performed. The style of the stage linking a film
stimulated the theatrical world in those days.
