Korea's best actor Hwang Jung-min returns to the theater stage.
On the 30th, the agency Sam Company announced the news of the performance of the play 'Macbeth' and the ultra-luxurious cast consisting of Hwang Jung-min, Kim So-jin, Song Il-gook, Song Young-chang, and Nam Yun-ho.
Sam Company's play series begins with the play 'Harold & Maud', followed by 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Richard III', 'Oedipus', and 'Faust', all of which are sold out for each performance and are recognized for their artistic quality and box office value. It has established itself as a popular series. Amidst the hot weather, Shakespeare's four greatest tragedies, 'Macbeth', were selected as the long-awaited sixth runner-up in 2024, garnering attention.
First, attention is focused on the casting of the five main actors who will make the play 'Macbeth' shine even more. Hwang Jung-min, an actor you can trust regardless of genre and who has the title of 'Trustworthy Treasure', will return to the stage in 2022 for the first time in two years since 'Richard III'. Hwang Jung-min, who had another 10 million movie hit with the movie 'Spring of Seoul' at the end of last year, is expected to go on the stage of the play, the main stream of his acting, and show off his electrifying performance once again.
Irreplaceable actress Kim So-jin, who is loved by fans for her wide acting spectrum, not only on stage but also on screen; Song Il-gook, a new actor who has reached the peak of media acting and has also mastered musicals and plays; Korea's unrivaled presence whose name is a filmography. Representative actor Song Young-chang and actor Nam Yun-ho, who boasts flawless skills as the representative hexagonal actor in the theater industry, are raising even more expectations for the play 'Macbeth' that will be performed on the same stage by actors of all levels of Korean acting ability.
Directed by Yang Jeong-woong, who shows an excellent sense of interpretation of classics through sophisticated mise-en-scène and modern language. In particular, director Yang Jeong-woong received the grand prize at the '10th Gdansk Shakespeare Festival' for his play 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' with Korean sentiments, so 'Macbeth' directed by Yang Jeong-woong, also known as a Shakespeare specialist, has raised the audience's expectations to the highest level. It's being pulled up. Next, the collaboration with stage artist Shin Shin-dong, who won the '6th Yegreen Musical Awards Stage Arts Award' and is receiving many love calls from the domestic performing arts community, raises questions about how the play 'Macbeth', a meeting of classics and modern times, will be realized at the National Theater. Elevate it further.
Attention is being paid to what kind of luxury play the meeting with producer Kim Mi-hye, who won the '7th Korea Musical Awards Producer Award' for the musical 'Mrs. Doubtfire' and has led Sam Company's play series, will create.
The play 'Macbeth', the sixth in Sam Company's play series, will be performed for five weeks at the National Theater's Haeoreum Theater from July 13 to August 18, 2024. Tickets will go on sale at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 14th at Interpark, Ticket Link, and the National Theater.
