Photo Flash: Hansol Jung's AMONG THE DEAD Opens Tonight at Ma-Yi Theater Company

AMONG THE DEAD, a new play by Hansol Jung, is being given its world premiere by the award-winning Asian American Off-Broadway Ma-Yi Theater Company at HERE (145 Sixth Avenue, NYC), with the official opening tonight, November 11th. AMONG THE DEAD is directed by Ralph B. Peña. This limited-engagement will conclude on November 26th, 2016. BroadwayWorld has a 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.
