Lee Hye-young, a renowned actress in Korea known for her 'charisma,' reprises her role as 'Hedda Gabler' in a play by Henrik Ibsen, staged by the National Theater Company of Korea. The play, originally written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, explores themes of societal constraints and a woman's desire for freedom leading to her downfall. Director Park Jeong-hee offers a fresh interpretation, focusing on the story's universal human elements beyond gender. Lee discusses the challenges of playing a newlywed character despite being in her early sixties, emphasizing the unique live experience of theater. Despite injury from shooting the film 'Purge' and unexpected cast changes, the play continues until next month.
