Celine Song's Endlings, directed by Sammi Cannold, officially opened March 9 at New York Theatre Workshop and the reviews are in!
In Endlings, three elderly haenyeos—sea women—spend their dying days diving into the ocean to harvest seafood on the Korean island of Man-Jae. Across the globe on the island of Manhattan, a Korean-Canadian playwright, twice an immigrant, spends her days wrestling with the expectation that she write “authentic” stories about her identity.
