Play about "comfort women" in Seoul with English subtitles, September 18th - 27th.

The Cho-In Theater Company will put on "Hotel Splendid" from September 18th through the 27th with English subtitles. It will be performed at the small hall at Daehangno Arts Theater, located outside exit 4 of Hyehwa subway station in Seoul. Take a look at their webpage for a plot summary, ticket information, and directions.

The play, written by American Lavonne Mueller, and earlier performances have gotten write-ups from OhMyNews and the Korea Times, here and here. From the Times:

Hotel Splendid, which won an International Peace Award in 2001, is named after one of the comfort stations established by the Japanese military. Mueller shakes her head at the irony of naming a place where girls were raped and brutalized on a daily basis as ``splendid.''
