AMONG THE DEAD, a new play by Hansol Jung, will be given its world premiere by the award-winning Asian American Off-Broadway Ma-Yi Theater Company at HERE (145 Sixth Avenue, NYC), with previews set to begin November 9th prior to its official opening night on November 11th. AMONG THE DEAD is directed by Ralph B. Peña. This limited-engagement will conclude on November 26th, 2016. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

AMONG THE DEAD is a dark comedy about a family broken apart by betrayal. Ana is a Korean American who travels to Seoul in 1975 to retrieve her dead father's ashes. Luke is a young American soldier fighting in the jungles of Myanmar in 1944. Number Four is the name of a Korean comfort woman camping out on a bridge in Seoul in 1950, waiting for the return of the young American soldier who fathered her daughter. Three separate time periods collide in a small hotel room in Korea, mediated by a shape-shifting Jesus who first shows up as a bellboy. AMONG THE DEAD is about a family finding each other through SPAM, journals and Jesus. Mostly Jesus.

Directed by Ma-Yi Theater Company's Producing Artistic Director Ralph B. Peña, the AMONG THE DEAD cast features WILL DAGGER (THE CONVENT OF PLEASURE), Julienne Hanzelka Kim (METAMORPHOSES, Broadway) (GOLDEN CHILD, Broadway), Diana Oh ({MY LINGERIE PLAY}), and Mickey Theis (DESIRE).

Scenic design for AMONG THE DEAD is by Reid Thompson; Costume Design: BECKY BODURTHA; Lighting Design: OLIVER WASON and Sound Design: KENNETH GOODWIN.
