First-look production photos are in for Kim’s Convenience, which is back in London following a sold-out run earlier this year.

The show has moved to the Riverside Studios in London, and is now playing to 26 October 2024.

Kim’s Convenience is inspired the CBC and Netflix’s global hit TV comedy adaptation of the same name.

The cast features Ins Choi, the playwright, actor and screenwriter of award-winning play Kim’s Convenience, who reprises his role as storekeeper Mr Kim (Appa), alongside Jennifer Kim as Janet, Namju Go as Umma, Edward Wu as Jung, and Miles Mitchell playing various characters.

Kim’s Convenience follows the hilarious and heart-warming tale of a Korean family-run convenience store. In the show Appa grapples with his changing neighbourhood and the growing schism between his first-generation immigrant values and those of his second-generation children.

Directed again by Esther Jun, the show’s creative team also includes Set & Costume Designer Mona Camille, Lighting Designer Jonathan Chan, Sound Designer and Composer Adrienne Quartly, Company Stage Manager Reuben Bojang, and Assistant Stage Manager Jinwen Chen.

Director Esther Jun said: “Appa and his family were welcomed with open arms when we were last here and I look forward to re-opening the store for another legion of theatre loving customers. Kim’s is a true generational play with so much heart, truth and laughter. It’s such a gift to see how it continues to resonate for different cultures and ages at different times in people’s lives.”

Kim’s Convenience is now playing at the Riverside Studios in London to 26 October 2024.
