The inspirational and insightful play, ‘American Hwangap’ has two more weeks of performances at West of Lenin. Be sure to catch this show, which inspires discussion and conversation, with friends, before it closes on February 25th!
Directed by WofL Founder A.J. Epstein, ‘American Hwangap’ is about Min Suk Chun, on the return from his native Korea, celebrating his 60th birthday, or ‘hwangap.’ He meets with his ex-wife and adult children, and the family have to navigate and reconcile their broken pasts during a present and tense weekend.
