A Conversation with Hansol Jung

Join us for an evening with South Korean playwright Hansol Jung. Receiving an Obie award in 2024 for her play Wolf Play, Jung has emerged as one of the leading voices of a new generation of global playwrights. Exploring themes related to displacement, identity, family (among others), her plays traverse geographical and psychological landscapes. The evening will include readings of excerpts of Hansol Jung's work and a conversation with the playwright. A reception will follow.
