THE FOX SISTER AND OTHER GUILTY PARTIES

COMMISSION

By Eric Sharp

She did it. She killed her father/She didn’t. She has no father. Adopted at 6 months, and more recently convicted of murder, Paula has 48 hrs to set the record straight. Not to the law (whatever that is), but to her Korean ancestors (whomsoever they may be). Nayoung is a mugyo (Korean spirit worker) in training, hired by Paula’s court-appointed psychiatrist to get a statement before the press pounces. Performed on a split stage and accompanied by classical Korean musicians (drunk on soju?) The Fox Sister opens a window on the untelegenic adoptee experience and flings open doors to an afterworld that refuses to stay silent.
