Theatre review: The Last Man
Jishik Kim (book and lyrics) and Seungyeon Kwon's (music) The Last Man is the latest piece of K-culture to land in London, and it confirms something many a Netflix show has suggested over the years: South Koreans do like their zombies. Set in a semi-basement flat (designed by Shankho Chaudhuri) reminiscent of the one the family in Parasite lives in, The Survivor (Lex Lee, alternating with Nabi Brown) has converted it into a bunker in preparation for an apocalyptic event he's sure is coming. When it arrives in the form of the walking dead - which also just happens to be his favourite movie genre - he bolts himself in with an air purifier, a phone and a large supply of K-Pop Demon Hunters-branded cup noodles to keep him alive. Also running water and electricity which seem unaffected by the cataclysmic events outside.
