About Kim’s Convenience

By Ins Choi

Directed by Esther Jun

Following hugely successful runs both in London and internationally, Kim’s Convenience is heading to Oxford Playhouse.

There’s humour and heart in every aisle…Now a global smash hit, this hilarious and heartwarming drama about a family-run Korean store that inspired the Netflix phenomenon, is written by Ins Choi, who calls the play his ‘love letter to his parents and to all first-generation immigrants who now call Canada their home.’
