Suitcase Stories
About
Pacific Theatre is practicing socially distanced seating for this production.
With only her chatty suitcase in tow, Maki leaves her home in South Korea for the vast unknown – Canada. A vulnerable and winsome tale of resilience and self-discovery. First produced at Pacific Theatre in 2016, Suitcase Stories returns: tale of culture shock, falling in love (with a stage), and the evils of bureaucracy.

Here's what they say about the show
Karen May
This was a great choice for the first offering in COVID time. Simple set, one actor, but such richness. We'd seen this before but the play delighted us yet again. Maki's story is moving, difficult, touching, and yet she presents it with the right balance of tenderness and humour. It felt wonderful to be back in the PT space and to be welcomed warmly from the moment we arrived to the doors. Looking forward to more.

The 4 four of us loved the one-woman show and having 2 rows to ourself made us feel completely safe. We enjoyed learning the plight of one independent woman, courageously doing life differently, applying herself to a new (unpopular) passion, and seeing it through to eventual success. I wanted to give Maki a standing O but I was too shy :). Thank you PT for another extraordinary show. We SO appreciate you courageously opening again.
