Wild Goose Dreams

Michael Boyd directs Hansol Jung’s fascinating and unforgettable twenty-first century love story.

Two lonely people from two divided cultures meet on an online dating site. Guk Minsung is a “goose father”, a South Korean man whose wife and daughter have moved to America in search of a better life. Yoo Nanhee is a young defector from North Korea and haunted by memories of the father she left behind.

The would-be lovers struggle to find quiet intimacy and genuine connection amidst the endless cacophony of the digital age.

Featuring a chorus, music and a penguin, this is a lyrical, darkly humorous and strikingly original play which receives its UK premiere in the Ustinov Studio direct from an acclaimed off-Broadway run.
