Masha No Home |
LOS ANGELES REVIEW by Willard Manus LOS ANGELES
-- Generational and cultural clashes within the Korean-American community
are well dramatized in the West Coast premiere of MASHA NO HOME, a drama
by 28-year-old playwright Lloyd Suh now on tap at East West Players. Central
to the story is a $30,000 kae--an off-the-books kitty meant to give recent
Korean arrivals a grubstake in NYC. Its presence triggers a tug of war
between Annabelle, a rebellious teenager played by Julia Morizawa, and
her older brother, Whitman (Eddie Shin), a workaholic lawyer obliged to
care for her after the death of their parents. |
