at Radio Free Asia. In her own words:<BR>
<BR>
</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=4 PTSIZE=14 FAMILY="SERIF" FACE="Times New Roman" LANG="0"><B>Can you recommend a good Web site in English or Korean <BR>
that explains Korean theatrical traditions?<BR>
</B>I'd like to add some good background links to our story <BR>
on the North Korean-gulag-musical.<BR>
</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 PTSIZE=12 FAMILY="SERIF" FACE="Times New Roman" LANG="0"><BR>
The story in question can be read in English at <BR>
http://www.rfa.org/english/news/arts/2005/11/23/nkorea_musical/<BR>
plus there is an interview in Korean with the director at<BR>
http://www.rfa.org/korean/simcheongbodo/2005/11/09/jung_sung_san_nk_defector_produce_musical/<BR>
<BR>
As this suggests, RFA is an interesting source of materials on North Korea<BR>
- and much else besides: China, Tibet, Burma and more.<BR>
<BR>
Sarah's contact details are below. In the interests of true communism,<BR>
I hope people will reply both collectively to the popular masses on this List,<BR>
and also copy in:<BR>
