Ins Choi’s award-winning play Kim’s Convenience, which inspired the CBC and Netflix’s global hit TV comedy adaptation of the same name, is transferring to Riverside Studios.
The comedy drama follows the hilarious and heart-warming tale of a Korean family-run convenience store. In the show Appa grapples with his changing neighbourhood and the growing schism between his first-generation immigrant values and those of his second-generation children.
The producers of Kim’s Convenience are also launching a London-wide call out inviting family-owned stores in the capital to come forward to be part of a brand new photography exhibition inspired by the play and Netflix Comedy series, celebrating their vibrant legacy.
Positioned in the Riverside Studios foyer and entitled Our Store: Your Story, the set of images which will be taken by theatre, live events and portraiture photographer Shona Louise, will celebrate the character of the eclectic family businesses and heartfelt success stories of their owners. The chosen businesses will also receive a special invite to the gala night celebrations on the 11 September.
Submissions can be made via the website link here.
