Katori Hall Instagram – “What’s next?” Is a question I’ve been asked a lot lately, but I’ve been focused on What’s Now.
Here I am for one night in London enjoying the dahlias from tubers long planted in cold fertile ground….
To see my play THE HOT WING KING have its London premiere at Thee National Theatre @nationaltheatre is a testament to dreams made real by blood, sweat, tears, and hot sauce.
Special thanks to my brothers Wayne and Charles for inspiring me to write this play.

My agent Michael Finkle @mefinks who won’t let me leave the theatre. And how could I? Theatre is home. So maybe that’s what’s next y’all. A new play. | Posted on 04/Sep/2024 00:48:14
