In the tranquil rural village of Villaperosa, nestled in northwestern Italy, unfolds the delightful and hilarious play, The Secret of Flowers.

 

The peaceful setting serves as the perfect backdrop for a heartwarming and comical story about friendship, resilience, and deception.

 

At the center of the narrative are four women who share a bond as strong as sisters.

 

These women have taken on the responsibilities of farming while their husbands, who show little interest in agriculture, head to the city to watch a soccer match.

 

The plot takes an unexpected twist when Gina, the youngest of the group, finally succumbs to her anxiety and bursts into tears, exclaiming, "All the men are dead!"

 

The women are thrown into a panic as they face the imminent arrival of a government insurance inspector who is set to evaluate their husbands' group life insurance application.

 

Desperate to avoid financial ruin, they hatch a daring plan to disguise themselves as their deceased husbands and fool the inspector.

The Return of Jang Jin

 

 

 

 

 

This play marks the highly anticipated return of Jang Jin, renowned as the “comedy master” of Daehangno.

 

Despite the modest 400-seat capacity of the theater, The Secret of Flowers has achieved remarkable success, topping the theater category on the Integrated Performing Arts Database and maintaining a 90% occupancy rate.

 

Jang Jin’s signature style shines through in the play’s warm and down-to-earth dialogue, peppered with slightly risqué jokes that feel like shared secrets among close friends.

 

The veteran cast brings depth and authenticity to their roles, making the humor all the more genuine and relatable.

Stellar Performances

 

 

 

 

 

Sofia, the eldest and the tough yet warm-hearted leader of the group, is portrayed by Park Sun-ok, Hwang Jung-min, and Jung Young-joo, depending on the performance.

 

Their powerful and grounded performances anchor the play, while the character of Jasmine, played by Jang Young-nam, Lee El, and Jo Yeon-jin, delivers the most laughter through her perpetual drunken antics and bold, R-rated jokes.

 

Monica, portrayed by Lee Yeon-hee, Ahn So-hee, and Gong Seung-yeon, adds charm and humor to the story, even when in disguise.

 

Meanwhile, Gina, played by Kim Seul-gi and Park Ji-ye, captures the audience’s sympathy with her vulnerability and emotional outburst.

Humor Without Exaggeration

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the play’s greatest strengths lies in its ability to elicit laughter through clever dialogue, situational humor, and impeccable chemistry among the actors.

 

The humor is organic and doesn’t rely on exaggerated acting or slapstick, allowing the audience to connect with the characters on a deeper level.
