Project Description

"Nanhee is a North Korean defector whose family was left behind in North Korea. Minsung is a South Korean goose father whose family has left him behind in South Korea. Nanhee and Minsung find each other on the internet. A story about modern aspirations and its betrayals, Wild Goose Dreams explores the miracle of quiet intimacy among the noise of the contemporary world."

WILD GOOSE DREAMS is a new play by Korean playwright Hansol Jung with music by Australian composer Paul Castles that has been developed through the support of the Australia-Korea Foundation, the Bay Area Playwrights Festival, the Sundance Institute, Salt Lake Acting Company, and New York Theater Workshop.
