The rehearsal video features interviews with writer and star Ins Choi, who plays Appa, the director Esther Jun, and other cast including Namju Go, Jennifer Kim, Brian Law and Miles Mitchell.
As well as writing the drama, Ins played Mr Kim’s son in the original production, alongside director Esther Jun.
The play was first staged at the Toronto Fringe Festival in 2011 and went on to win plaudits for its East Asian representation.

Joining Esther in the creative team are Mona Camille (Set & Costume Designer), Jonathan Chan (Lighting Designer), Holly Khan (Sound Designer and Composer), Pete Rickards for eStage (Production Manager), Reuben Bojang (Company Stage Manager) and Jinwen Chen (Assistant Stage Manager).
The comedy drama follows the hilarious and heart-warming tale of a Korean family-run convenience store. The play is centred on Mr Kim (Appa), the proud, hardworking patriarch of the family who grapples with his changing neighbourhood and the growing schism between his first-generation immigrant values and those of his second-generation children.
Kim’s Convenience runs at the Park Theatre from 8 January to 10 February 2024.
