Mixing traditional Korean fables with the horrors of the Korean War, Daniel K. Isaac's new play is a funny and deeply moving analog for the experiences of the Korean American diaspora. Isaac deftly moves his characters through time, tracing the legacies of trauma that are passed from one generation to the next, and the various coping mechanisms each one uses to soldier on. Presented in partnership with New York University.
