Overview

Following hugely successful runs both in London and internationally, Kim’s Convenience is heading out on a UK tour! 

There’s humour and heart in every aisle… 

Now a global smash hit, this hilarious and heartwarming drama about a family-run Korean store that inspired the Netflix phenomenon, is written by Ins Choi, who calls the play his ‘love letter to his parents and to all first-generation immigrants who now call Canada their home.’


If a performance is sold out, email info@northernstage.co.uk or call 0191 230 5151 to be added to our waiting list.
