노민호 and Julie in Seoul - An English & Korean play reading Free Anywhere Theater Project:
1. Making plays for free: no budget, no pay, no admission.
2. Showing plays anywhere: living room, cafe, park, any free space.
We’re two artists putting on a free, 20 minute PLAY READING, with 4 actors on 4 chairs reading from the script. This is NOT a full play production. It’s a romantic comedy inspired by Romeo and Juliet , but not the original play. The audience size: 5 to 20 people. The plot: She is American, he is Korean. Will their love story have a happy ending in modern day Seoul?
