BREAKDOWN
RAY’S FATHER:
Late 60s. Korean. Born in Korea, and has lived in America for over four decades. He is at death’s door and spends much of the play unconscious in a hospital bed. In the tradition of hard-working immigrants, he doesn’t understand his son’s bourgeois desires and dreams.
RAY’S UNCLE:
Late 50s. Korean. Speaks fluent Korean, and never speaks English in the play. Though he and his brother have not spoken in years, on learning that Ray’s father is near death, he jumps on a plane to visit, carrying the ingredients for a soup that will heal him. Ray’s uncle believes fervently in the power of family and the need to heal wounds both physical and emotional.
STORYLINE:
Ray leaves his job as a classically trained French chef to take care of his dying father, a Korean immigrant, who never appreciated Ray's culinary accomplishments. Food, which normally unites people, painfully divides Ray from his father, even as it serves as the key to memory and identity for all the characters in this off-Broadway hit. If the language of food lets him down, he's even more vexed by the Korean language. Ray calls upon his estranged girlfriend Cornelia for translation services when his non-English speaking uncle arrives with a sack full of strange ingredients. This life-affirming and perceptive drama from one of the country's most important playwrights distills the flavors of rich characters and intense relationships. Featuring Tony Nam as Ray.
