STAGE

Sayonara : “Shimada,” the Broadway drama starring Ben Gazzara, Ellen Burstyn and Mako, closed Saturday night after only four regular performances. The play, which opened last Thursday in the Broadhurst Theater, was written by Jill Shearer and set in Australia with flashbacks to a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp. It was the first Broadway show to offer theatergoers a simultaneous Japanese translation.
