Seoul City Sue
Full-length, two acts.
In Korean War-era Seoul, an American woman spouts North Korean radio propaganda as the voice of “Seoul City Sue”. In a year not too far in the past, a Korean-American writer grapples with identity and isolation in the face of global catastrophe. Inspired by true events, Seoul City Sue spans decades of history, as well as history that feels like decades but in reality was only about a year or so.
