Hedda Gabler Lee Hye-young 'Lee Young-ae and 'Hedda' cannot be compared...'The actors and productions are different.'
Actress Lee Hye-young carefully drew a line about the comparison with Lee Young-ae's 'heda Gabler', which was staged at the same time.

At a press conference for 'Heda Gabler' held at the Myeongdong Theater of the National Theater Company in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 19th, Lee Hye-young said, `It is impossible to compare because actors are different and productions are different.'

Recently, another 'heda Gabler' starring actor Lee Young-ae was performing at the LG Art Center, and the two works were performed at the same time and naturally emerged as comparisons.




In response, Lee Hye-young said "I'm just the way I am now" and that my age doesn't matter at all at the moment when I create a performance called "Hedda Gabler" with the audience." "The play is an art that is newly created with a different audience every time," he said, adding that he also conveyed the philosophy of the stage.

Lee Hye-young played Hedda at the premiere of the National Theater Company in 2012 and made a big splash in the theater industry by selling out all seats, and this time she was back on stage with the same role in 13 years.

Meanwhile, the National Theater Company 'Heda Gabler' will be performed at the Myeongdong Arts Theater until June 1.
