Yellow Earth, who last year brought us David Tse Ka-shing’s version of King Lear, comes to the Oval House bringing a double bill of East Asian short plays. Coupled with Dogs, by Elangovan (from Singapore), is Getting Married by Yi Kang-baek.
GETTING MARRIED

A light-hearted, surreal fable from South Korea’s Daesan Award winner.
At the Oval House, 9 – 13 October.
