An ordinary woman. A bodiless head. And a wee bit of K-Pop. The Head is an abject uncanny dark fairy tale.

Stage adaptation and performance by Kat Kim.

Based on The Head by South Korean writer Bora Chung, which was shortlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize. It is included in Chung’s collection of short stories Cursed Bunny. Originally published in South Korea in 2017, Cursed Bunny was published in the UK in 2021 and exploded in popularity as a record breaking, international bestseller praised by The New York Times. With ten genre-defying short tales combining elements of horror, fantasy and the surreal, it continues to win and scare fans all over the world.
