“The play of the year without a doubt!” - News1
Tears of Malmoe, the play received an enthusiastic response by the audience and was performed for many sold-out crowds last year, is coming back again to a new stage to meet more audiences. In the play, the workers of a shipyard lead dangerous lives day by day, represented by the 128m tall goliath crane. Actually, their lives are a sort of reflection of the audience. Accidents in the shipyard gradually become a run-of-the-mill daily event as the workers cannot do anything about them. All the workers can do is work hard to make ends meet every day. They start a sit-in on top of the goliath crane to let the world know about the truth in the shipyard, but following an unfortunate turn of events, even more sadness is added to the situation. Kim Soo Hee, the writer and director of the play, vividly reproduces her childhood memories in Geoje Island on the stage.

Tears of Malmoe It is a nickname referring to the goliath crane, which had been sold by an international shipbuilder, Kockums, in Malmoe, Sweden. The crane had the world’s largest lifting capacity at the time. A Korean shipbuilder bought the crane for only one dollar and installed it at a shipyard in Ulsan. The nickname came about because the day when the crane was disassembled and sailed away on a ship, many citizens of Malmoe watched the scene with tears. |
Synopsis

Mi Sook realizes her childhood dream and becomes a worker in the shipyard, and Soo Hyun becomes a contract worker in the office of a foreign company after studying abroad in France. Jin Soo was an assistant director of a broadcasting company in Seoul. Now he works for a subcontractor of the shipyard, where his father has been working, with his friend Jung Hun. Jin Soo’s father Kuen Suk always presses his son to become a permanent employee of the company. Meanwhile, someone suffers a serious fall at the shipyard, but the company is just busy covering up the event and other workers accept it as a daily event. Jin Soo and Jung Hun think something wrong is going on here, and Jin Soo goes up onto the crane to stage a sit-in…
