Congratulations to Ra Chapman on a very successful run of K-BOX!

Congratulation to Ra Chapman, who is currently enjoying a successful run of her play K-BOX at the Malthouse Theatre.

Lucy hasn’t been home in a while. But she's quit her job, dumped her boyfriend, and turned up on her adoptive parents' doorstep needing somewhere to crash. George and Shirley don't know what to do with their daughter. She's depressed, she's a mess, and she's stumbled across an old cardboard box that was once full of childhood memories but is now completely empty.

Lucy and her parents haven’t always seen eye to eye on everything, but when a K-Pop star mysteriously wanders into their lives and starts asking destabilising questions about her Korean roots, new fault lines are exposed in the family unit that become impossible to hide.

This award-winning comedy from Ra Chapman (Malthouse Artist in Residence) and starring Maude Davey (Melancholia, The Lockdown Monologues), Syd Brisbane (Because The Night), and newcomers Susanna Qian and Jeffrey Liu (JËVA), K-BOX brings humour, guts and hard truths to the suburban family dinner table.

The show will finish up on Sunday 18 September 2022, and tickets for the final performances can be purchased here.

"I want to share with audiences the wild ride it is to be a Korean adoptee and the joy and devastation and the impossible choices you are faced with, when you attempt to find something you’ve lost, while still wanting to hold onto what you have." — Ra Chapman, Writer & Malthouse Artist in Residence

“… K-BOX is an extraordinary mainstage debut from Chapman – genuinely funny, expertly cringe-worthy, and damningly shining a light on Australia’s long history of defending good-natured people afflicted with “soft” racism.” — Bianca O'Neill, Time Out Online
