Description
A new edition of the popular play, now adapted into a wildly successful TV series. In this heartwarming and humorous story, Mr Kim is faced with an offer to sell his beloved variety store, Kim's Convenience, which has been the cornerstone of his life for years. As he tries to convince his daughter Janet to take over the business, he must also come to terms with his estranged son Jung, who has not seen or spoken to him in sixteen years. As the neighbourhood around the store undergoes significant changes, Mr Kim is forced to confront his own legacy and the memories of his past. His wife's secret meeting with Jung adds a layer of complexity to the story, highlighting the challenges faced by Korean families navigating cultural identity and family ties. This original and engaging tale explores themes of family, tradition, and the struggle to adapt to change, all set against the vibrant backdrop of Toronto's Regent Park neighbourhood.
