New photos have been released of the Public Theater's New York premiere of Wild Goose Dreams, written by Hansol Jung and directed by Leigh Silverman.
The coproduction with La Jolla Playhouse follows the play's initial run in Public Studio, and is set to open on November 14 for a run through December 9.
The cast of Wild Goose Dreams features Dan Domingues (chorus), Lulu Fall (digital Nanhee, chorus), Kendyl Ito (Heejin, chorus), Francis Jue (Father), Peter Kim (Guk Minsung), Michelle Krusiec (Yoo Nanhee), Jaygee Macapugay (wife, chorus), Joél Pérez (digital Minsung, chorus), Jamar Williams (chorus), and Katrina Yaukey (chorus).
The play is described as follows: "Minsung is a 'goose father,' a South Korean man whose wife and daughter have moved to America for a better life. Deeply lonely, he escapes onto the internet and meets Nanhee, a young defector forced to leave her family behind in North Korea. Amidst the endless noise of the modern world, where likes and shares have taken the place of love and touch, Minsung and Nanhee try their best to be real for each other. But after a lifetime of division and separation, is connection possible?"
The creative team includes scenic design by Clint Ramos, costume design by Linda Cho, lighting design by Keith Parham, sound design by Palmer Hefferan, composition by Paul Castles, Korean music composition by Jongbin Jung, movement direction by Yasmine Lee, and music supervision by Charity Wicks.
