The play Pingkeu Teureok will run from May 1 to 31 at Starit Hall in Daehak-ro, Seoul. This original production, based on director Jang Hang-jun's screenplay, is already drawing attention.
Director Jang Hang-jun is widely known for recent box-office hits including the megahit film The King's Warden, which surpassed 10 million moviegoers.
Beloved veteran stage actor Park Sang-myeon will star as Heo Sang-man, bringing his trademark comedic performance to the role.
Meanwhile, Pingkeu Teureok tells a heartwarming, laugh-filled story of scam victims who pursue a con artist in an adult-goods truck.
Park Sang-myeon has delivered standout, distinctive characters across dramas Se Chingu, Seoul 1945, More Beautiful Than a Flower and films No. 3, My Wife Is a Gangster. His sharp comic timing and down-to-earth acting are expected to shine in this play as well. In particular, early feedback notes, "By wrapping the story of a person trying to rise again from rock bottom in laughter, it is expected to resonate with audiences."
