A new work by Proudly Asian Theatre is putting the spotlight on love and bureaucracy.
Genuine and Stable is Uhyoung Choi's debut as a playwright and is based on his experiences as a former immigration lawyer.
In the show - love, identity and bureaucracy collide when an immigrant and a New Zealander claim they are in love, and two immigration agents must decide if they are telling the truth.
A routine case spirals into a web of contradictions and the question of what a real relationship looks like - comes under scrutiny.
It was first presented as part of Proudly Asian Theatre's Fresh off the Page - playreading series in 2022.
Other works from PAT include Basmati Bitch, Scenes from a Yellow Peril and The Mourning After.
Uhyoung Choi joins Culture 101.
