Kim’s Convenience, UK Tour
By Ins Choi, Directed by Esther Jun
The award-winning play which inspired the Netflix comedy is back by popular demand.
Following a sell-out run at Park Theatre and a transfer to Riverside Studios, everyone’s favourite convenience store is packing up shop to hit the road as Kim’s Convenience goes on a UK tour.
Taking charge as the new patriarchal figure in the family will be star of the CBC and Netflix adaptation James Yi. As well as being known for Kim’s Convenience, he has also been seen in The Interview, Gabby Duran & The Unsittables and has played Appa in previous productions.
There’s humour and heart in every aisle…
Now a global smash hit, this hilarious and heartwarming drama about a family-run Korean store 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.’
Kim’s Convenience is performed in English.
