Next Stop: North Korea

Next Stop: North Korea
Written and performed by John Feffer
Directed by Angela Kay Pirko

How far would you travel to help other people? How many compromises would you make?

In this new one-man show, acclaimed playwright and performer John Feffer brings audiences as close to North Korea as they can get without a visa and an airplane ticket. Based on his visits to the country and the work he did there, Feffer explores the challenges of doing good in a morally ambiguous environment. He takes you inside Kim Il Sungs mausoleum, up and down the Tower of the Juche Idea, out to the North Korean countryside, and into the hearts and minds of North Koreans themselves. Follow along this brilliant writer and performer (Washington City Paper) as he brings you on an alternately funny, sobering, and thrilling trip of a lifetime.

John Feffer is the writer and performer of the critically acclaimed one-man shows The Bird, Edible Rex, and Stuff. He is a recipient of a solo performance award in 2016 from the Maryland State Arts Council.

Angela Kay Pirko is a DC-based director and actor. She is a member of the 2014 Lincoln Center Directors Lab, two-time member of the Directors Studio at Shakespeare Theatre Company, and the co-producer/resident director for Nu Sass Productions.
