Farah Fleurima as Marie
Farah Fleurima is thrilled to make her stage debut with the Seoul Players! She is an editor and sometimes writer for The New York Times, and when she’s not working or rehearsing, she’s probably cooking or dining out. She minored in theater in grad school and has written TV shows and screenplays – she even had her own one-act play produced by her grad school. Acting is a long-deferred dream she’s been extremely happy to dive into.
