Dreams Of Blonde &Amp; Blue

Synopsis:
In a failing New York City restaurant, a man dreams of returning to Korea to become Prime Minister decades after leaving. His wife laments a lost career in science and comforts herself with fashionable clothes. Their daughter tries desperately to find love and acceptance while refusing to be a dutiful receptacle for her parent's fantasies. With humour and compassion, M.J. Kang draws a compelling portrait of a family struggling to escape the past and embrace the future.

Noran Bang: The Yellow Room

Synopsis:
M.J. Kang's child's-eye view of a Korean family's emigration to Canada. The play, inspired by a memory fragment, starts off full of dreams and ancestral memories, recalling that time in childhood when reality, dream and hallucination are equally real.
