Eden Jun is a Korean-British writer and actor from Seoul and Birmingham. She started developing her solo work at CPT as a Starting Blocks 2022 artist, after taking part in New Earth Theatre Performers Academy and the Solo Show Creation Lab by Haley McGee. Sabrina Mahfouz, her mentor, has inspired her to write and perform political feminist work.
Eden’s work is fun and approachable to regular and non-theatregoers alike, has representation at its heart, and tackles challenging themes in a playful way that connects people across generations and communities. She is also writing a TV pilot and a family science theatre show.
