At Sejong Center S Theater Until the 23rd
Praised at Its 2017 West End Premiere
The play "Beginning," starring Lee Jong-hyuk, Yoo Sun, Yoon Hyun-min, and Kim Yoon-ji, will open on the 7th at Sejong Center S Theater.
"Beginning" is a work by British playwright David Eldridge, who has received awards such as the Best New Play at the Off-West End Awards and the Best New Play at the Theatre Goers' Choice Awards. It is the first work in Eldridge's trilogy series dealing with love and relationships. It premiered in 2017 at the National Theatre in the UK, selling out all performances and receiving praise from local media such as The Guardian and The Independent.
"Beginning" is a two-person play about Danny and Laura, who meet by chance in an apartment in London. Laura is a woman with a glamorous background but has lived a lonely life, while Danny is a man leading a monotonous life after divorce. Laura and Danny spend a night talking by chance, deeply exploring each other's inner selves. With dense emotional lines, realistic dialogue, and added humor, it delicately portrays the loneliness of modern people and the beginning of relationships through detailed emotional nuances.
The Korean premiere of "Beginning" is directed by Pyo Sang-ah, who also directed "Who Lives in the Kuroi Mansion?" and "Gutenberg." Lee Jong-hyuk and Yoo Sun, Yoon Hyun-min and Kim Yoon-ji each pair up. "Beginning" is scheduled to run for about two weeks until the 23rd.
