An entertaining black comedy, wAve veers from farce to tragedy as a Korean immigrant’s wish for a perfect life as an American housewife turns sour.

Exasperated by her husband’s dreams of Hollywood success, M’s intensifying dislocation and isolation leads her on a hallucinatory journey where she must come to terms with her past and embrace whatever the future brings.

Loosely based on the Medea myth with a chorus of comic characters, wAve is a passionate and satirical play exploring the collision of cultures from an award-winning American playwright.

wAve was commissioned by Center Theater Group/Mark Taper Forum’s Asian Theater Project and premiered at Ma-Yi Theater Company.
