The weather is getting sultry and people are seeking something to beat the heat. Why not chill out this summer in a traditional way?
Korean summers used to begin with horror films or dramas on television, but the trend has been on the wane recently except at movie theaters.
Chasing off the heat with horror is now reviving on stage, with fans eager to see terror and suspense.
Here are some plays and musicals that might beat the heat.
There is no better time to watch a horror play than late at night. ``Rosemary'' begins at 10 p.m.
The play is a psychological thriller and romantic melodrama based on a murder incident.
The story revolves around a couple, Jun-ha, a detective, and Mary. During Jun-ha's business trip, Mary is found dead at home. Jun-ha chases the criminal to take revenge. The play looks into the consciousness of each character.
This is the last of the trilogy series following ``Happy Together'' and ``Love Story.''
The play will run at Miracle Theater through Aug. 31. Tickets cost 15,000 to 20,000 won. For more information, call (02) 742-7261.
