wAve by Sung Rno
Loosely inspired by the Medea myth and with a chorus of comic characters, this dysfunctional love story veers from madcap farce to tragedy as an isolated Korean immigrant’s dream of a perfect life as an American housewife turns sour.
wAve is a passionate and satirical play exploring the collision of cultures from an award-winning American playwright.
