Now a global smash hit, this hilarious and heartwarming drama about a family-run Korean store that inspired the Netflix phenomenon, is written by Ins Choi, who calls the play his “love letter to his parents and to all first-generation immigrants who now call Canada their home.”
After two successful runs in London in 2024, the production now goes on a nationwide tour, with James Yi in the title role. Dates and venues are below. LKL’s review of the play’s first run in Finsbury Park can be found here.
