If Yoon Sim-deok Were Alive... The Play 'Gwanbu Yeollakseon' Opens March 1

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] The play "Gwanbu Yeollakseon" (written by Lee Hee-jun, directed by Lee Ki-ppeum) will open on March 1st at the Jayu Small Theater in Daehangno.

"Gwanbu Yeollakseon" is a work based on the imagination of what Korea's first soprano, Yoon Sim-deok, would be like if she were alive today.

The play is set on the Gwanbu Yeollakseon Tokujumaru, a ship traveling from Japan to Busan, where the story unfolds. Hong Seok-ju rescues Yoon Sim-deok, who jumped into the sea while hiding on the ship to stow away. The two women, who lived very different lives, clash and conflict over their completely different thoughts and ways of life, but eventually understand each other, share friendship, and support the hopes each of them envisions.

Unlike the women of the 1920s who accepted their fate, Hong Seok-ju and Yoon Sim-deok do not easily accept the destiny laid before them. The two women are unafraid of adventure and challenges for a better life.

The script of "Gwanbu Yeollakseon" was written by playwright Lee Hee-jun, who also wrote musicals such as "Mia Familia," "Mio Fratello," "Achilles," "About Angels: Fallen Angel Edition," and "The Origin of Evil by Da Won-young." The direction is by Lee Ki-ppeum, who directed musicals like "Nansel" and plays such as "The Strolling Invader," "Juliet and Juliet," and "Republic of Korea Brawl."

"Gwanbu Yeollakseon" will be performed for about two months until May 9th, with casting to be announced in January and the first ticket opening scheduled.
