PLAY DESCRIPTION
“Mom’s dead” A brief phone call prompts a charismatic Korean shaman and her estranged Korean-American granddaughter to reunite in New York. In all of their differences (especially language), they have one thing in common: grief. With spirits and digital technology, ‘MA, GO' is a fantastical new horror play about the generational ways of celebrating life and death.
