The first reading scene of the play 'Heda Gabler', in which Lee Young-ae plays the title role of Heda Gabler, was unveiled.
'Heda Gabler' is a work that is drawing attention as a return to the play after 32 years of actor Lee Young-ae, who has shown irreplaceable presence through various characters such as 'Daejanggeum', 'Kind Geumja-si', and 'Spring Day Goes'.
Actor Lee Young-ae, actors such as Kim Jung-ho, Ji Hyun-joon, Lee Seung-ju, Baek Ji-won, Lee Jung-mi, and Jo Ji-jin, director of LG Art Center Lee Hyun-jung, director Jeon In-cheol, stage designer Park Sang-bong, sound designer Kaip, and costume designer Kim Hwan, and honorary professor Kim Mi-hye of Hanyang University, who translated the entire playbook of playwright Henrik Johan Ibsen into Korean and received the Norwegian Royal Medal of Merit, were present as advisors.

Lee Young-ae, who starred in the drama, said at her first reading, "Hedda Gabler" seems to be a piece that approaches like fate. I thought a lot about it because it was my first theater stage in 32 years, but I thought that it should not be now"I've done a lot of good works such as dramas and movies, but I've always been thirsty as an actor, but now that I'm in my 50s, I think the character who can express various emotions as an actress is 'heda'. I'm afraid, but I just think I should work hard," he said, expressing his ambition to participate in the work.
In this work, Lee Young-ae, who plays the main character Hedda, will express a character who is elegant on the outside but has hidden anxiety, desire, and destructive nature inside in strong and three-dimensional ways.

Ibsen's original 'heda Gabler' is a work dealing with the psychology of a woman who yearns for freedom amid social constraints and oppression. Due to the complex psychology and unpredictable development of humans, various interpretations and debates have been brought about on many stages around the world. In particular, this work will be more sympathetic to contemporary audiences by using the adaptation of Richard Year, who won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Revival with a modern adaptation of 'Heda Gabler'.

Director Jeon In-cheol, who is the main character of the 54th Dong-A Theater Awards and is called the "Master of Fine Text Analysis", will capture our complex psychology and anxiety living in modern society in Hedda's multi-layered inner world and sharply portray repeated conflicts in the social structure through the characters around him.
Meanwhile, 'Heda Gabler' will be performed at LG Art Center Seoul and LG SIGNATURE Hall from May 7 to June 8.
