A Korean American teen and her best friend navigate the terrors of the 1980s midwestern suburbs. Now entering junior high, all Mo wants to be is “normal,” and assimilate into invisibility. Unfortunately, this will alienate her best friend, Steff, who only wants to be “special.” Will their friendship survive? The F*ck House is a new play developed through Strawdog's BIPOC Playwright Residency.
