WAVE Loosely inspired by the Medea myth and with a chorus of comic characters, this dysfunctional love story veers from madcap farce to tragedy as an isolated Korean immigrant’s dream of a perfect life as an American housewife turns sour.

“The play is elegantly mounted and lit by Wai Yin Kwok and Douglas Kuhrt.” – Howard Loxton, The British Theatre Guide
“Wai Yin Kwoks stylised, symbolic set was successful in showing the relationship between new and old, reflecting the story line, and the simplistic lighting worked very well to evoke setting and mood.” – Gareth Ellis, The Public Reviews

“The stark set (by Wai Yin Kwok) again reinforces the blunt dichotomy between past and future, with a humble bamboo structure on one side and the imposing steel beams of advancement on the other.” – Christiana Bracewell, Whats On Stage
