‘One night I fainted because the ghost of a young woman called out to me from her grave by the side of the road. I was so scared that I began to shake and, later, I got sick. Whereupon I submit this report of absence.’

Spirits of an earlier time swirl together with inhabitants of the present as a town clerk tells of the mysterious events which led to his prolonged absence from work. Haunted by the bloody history of his family, Yun’s journey home one night reveals the tragic legacy of the Korean War through the strange, humorous and disturbed characters he meets.

Theatre Company E’zi proudly presents the UK premiere of Bicycle, by Korea’s leading playwright Oh T'ae-sok. Combining experiences of his own family in the war with traditional Korean storytelling, Oh’s play is a hauntingly eloquent exploration of a dark past and its implications for the present.
