ENDLINGS
by Celine Song
On the Korean island of Man-Jae, three Haenyeo—fascinating sea women—spend their dying days diving into the ocean to harvest seafood. On the island of Manhattan, a Korean-Canadian playwright, wrestles with both the expectation that she write authentic stories and her own inclination to commodify her identity, but who, exactly, is she?
“Fascinating. Audacious. Deftly satirical and utterly on-target.”
- The Boston Globe
“[Endlings is] both a traditional stage work that seeks to depict people’s lives and a metafictional examination of the playwright’s own motivations.”
- The New Yorker
Playwright Celine Song was nominated for an Academy Award for the movie Past Lives.
