DESCRIPTION:La Boite Theatre presents the Queensland premiere of a Griffin Theatre Company production, a&nbsp;Show of Family and Belonging!Hannah had her trip all planned out. Travel to Korea. Visit her birth mother. Spend a golden summer creating precious memories.&nbsp;But when she arrives in Seoul reality hits hard. Her Umma works in a convenience store day and night, barely taking a break. She seems more interested in stacking shelves and re-arranging the garden gnome display than connecting with her long-lost Australian daughter. &nbsp;Hannah is Korean, yet in Umma&rsquo;s mind, Hannah is a &ldquo;Koreaboo&rdquo;&mdash;a foreigner captivated by K-Pop, kimchi and hanboks. Armed with only Google Translate and unrelenting optimism, Hannah must try to find a place within Umma&rsquo;s world before the end of a sweltering summer. &nbsp;Taking inspiration from real events in playwright Michelle Lim Davidson&lsquo;s life (The Feather in the Web, The Newsreader), this profound and heartfelt play marks the writing debut of one of Australia&rsquo;s most beloved performers. Michelle herself takes to the stage under the direction of Jessica Arthur (The Dictionary of Lost Words), in a reunion story that reaches across continents, cultures and Spotify&reg; playlists.Discover more at <a href="https://laboite.com.au/shows/koreaboo" target="_blank">La Boite</a>.
