At his press conference in London last Monday, Oh Tae-seok spoke about his work with the Mohkwa Repertory Company. One of the priorities of Master Oh, who had spend many years as director of Korea’s National Theatre company, is to nurture the next generation of actors. And one of the pleasures of working with his own company is to keep honing away at the production, experimenting with what works and what doesn’t. His Tempest premiered in Seoul last year, and clearly things have changed since then. The programme notes for the Edinburgh production, based on the Seoul performance, had a flute among the musicians, and had Ariel as shaman priestess made of straw. If either was true of the Edinburgh performance, I wasn’t paying attention. Fortunately, one person who was paying attention was the translator and surtitle operator Paul Matthews, who found that there were a few minor last-minute cuts. And as he prepared for the second night’s performance he tweeted: “Sitting in my surtitle booth, finished all the changes for tonight’s performance, hoping there’s no surprise new scene at the last minute.” Source: http://londonkoreanlinks.net/2011/08/15/festival-visit-mokhwa-repertory-company-the-tempest/
