In the civil and government upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s in
Korea, Kang-baek Lee began his distinguished playwriting career. He
is perhaps best known as the premier writer of social commentary in
the form of allegories in an effort to circumvent extremely strict
censorship laws which were heavily enforced until 1989. However,
Lee is not just an allegorist. He weaves Confucianism values
throughout his works: affection between fathers and sons; justice;
relationships between husbands and wives; deference to the elders;
and trust. Through over forty works, Kang-baek Lee has played and
continues to play a formidable role in South Korean theatre, but
Western appreciation for his works has been limited to Europe. This
present anthology introduces to an English-reading audience a
playwright whose dedication to the truth could not be squashed by
government censorship and whose imagination paved the path for many
younger playwrights now at the forefront of South Korean theatre.
This book provides insights into Kang-baek Lee as a person and the
magnitude of his impact on Korean culture.
