There aren't that many UK theatre companies that come to Korea, so when they do, I'm only too happy to go along and support them. Although I'm not really the target audience - it's a children's show - it was still fun to see "Looking for Yoghurt" which was directed by Peter Wynne-Wilson from Birmingham and it's already played in the Birmingham Rep. What makes it all the better from my point of view is that it brings together Korean, Japanese and British characters, all of whom speak their own language yet still manage to communicate with each other. A great metaphor in so many ways. It's playing at the Daehangno Arts Theatre and goes to Kapyong and Yeoncheon before going on to Japan. http://www.hanyong.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk gives some of the background to this collaboration; http://cafe.daum.net/joyfultheatre gives details of the performances in Korea.
And it's great fun. Certainly the children in the audience very clearly - and vocally - enjoyed it.
