Seoul Players Joe Egg will end Sunday

By John Redmond

Expat theater group, Seoul Players, will continue its run of the English writer Peter Nichols play “A Day in the Death of Joe Egg” through March 27 at Roofers in Itaewon.

Starring Jason Stone, Caitlin Kilburn and Stephanie Foster and featuring Valerie Schmitt and Josh Martin, “Joe Egg” is a heartbreaking comedy that centers on a young couple struggling to care for their only child who is severely handicapped daughter with cerebral palsy.

Caring for her has occupied nearly every moment of the parents' lives, and this has taken a heavy toll on their marriage.

“’Joe Egg’ will have you laughing, crying, and asking yourself when, if ever, is it kinder to let a person die? And who has the right to decide?” states the press release.

Seoul Players is an English-speaking community theater company based in Seoul. It was formed in late 2001 as a non-profit organization by Roman Zolnierczyk, an Australian business executive and keen thespian. The group of (mostly) ex-pats delights in bringing English-language theater to audiences here in Seoul.

Performances are at 8 p.m. on March 25 and 26. On March 26 and 27, there will be a performance at 4 p.m..

Tickets are 15,000 won and can be reserved by email on ticketing@seoulplayers.com.
