The play 'Another Country' to be restaged in June... Discovering new talents through auditions

[Asia Economy Reporter Byunghee Park] The play "Another Country," which premiered last year, will be staged again after one year.

"Another Country" is a representative work by British playwright Julian Mitchell, which won the "Play of the Year" and "Best Newcomer in Theatre" awards at the Olivier Awards. It premiered as a play in London's West End in 1982 and was released as a film of the same name in 1984. It was the debut work of British actor Colin Firth, who played the role of "Guy Bennett" in the play and "Tommy Judd" in the film.

"Another Country" is set in a prestigious British public school in the 1930s, dominated by class and authority, and tells the story of the ideals, dreams, and frustrations of two young men: the free-spirited "Guy Bennett" and the heretic who believes in communism, "Tommy Judd."

The play "Another Country" attracted attention at its premiere last year by boldly casting newcomers in all roles. At that time, Moon Yugang and Yeon Junseok secured leading roles on their debut stage, overcoming a competition rate of 750 to 1. In particular, Moon Yugang, who played the role of "Tommy Judd," won the Best New Actor Award for Male Theatre Actor at the Stage Talk Audience Choice Awards (SACA) last year.

The production company Page One of "Another Country" announced that they will discover talented individuals suitable for the work through open auditions for the revival as well.

They plan to select a total of four characters: "Guy Bennett," "Tommy Judd," "Fowler," and "Wharton." Anyone who has basic acting and choreography skills, combines talent and character, whether a newcomer or an experienced actor, and can participate in all rehearsal and performance schedules can apply. To apply for the audition, fill out the application form on Google Drive (https://bit.ly/country2020) and submit it via email to anothercountry2020@gmail.com. Applications are accepted by email only, and the deadline is from February 26 to March 8. Only those who pass the first document screening will be invited to the practical audition on the 16th of next month.

"Another Country" is scheduled to be revived in June at the Seokyeong University Performing Arts Center SCON Hall 1.
