The award-winning play which inspired the Netflix Comedy is back by popular demand!
Following a sell-out season at Park Theatre, KIM’S CONVENIENCE will transfer to Riverside Studios for a strictly limited season from 5 SEPTEMBER – 26 OCTOBER 2024.
There’s humour and heart in every aisle…
The comedy drama follows the hilarious and heart-warming tale of a Korean family-run convenience store where Appa grapples with his changing neighbourhood and the growing schism between his first-generation immigrant values and those of his second-generation children.
The production will be accompanied by a brand new photography exhibition inspired by the play and Netflix Comedy series celebrating the heartfelt success stories of small business owners. Plus, accompanying the Riverside run, will be a Kim’s Convenience-inspired kiosk run by Seoul Plaza, a family-owned chain of Korean food stores, with kimbap (seaweed rice rolls) and noodles for theatre-goers.
Now a global smash hit, this hilarious and heartwarming drama about a family-run Korean store that inspired the Netflix phenomenon, is written by and starring Ins Choi, who calls the play his ‘love letter to his parents and to all first-generation immigrants who now call Canada their home.’
