(VOVworld)- Over the past 55 years, the Hanoi Drama Theater has produced 100 plays including short plays, comedies, and folk plays. But plays about political and social issues are the bread and butter of the Theatre.
The Hanoi Drama Theater is popular for its dramas. Some well-known examples are “Lam Son insurgency”. “July night”, “Harvest Picture“, “I and we”, “Flower rampart“, “Village teacher”, “Sand dust”, “My Ha My”, “Regret”, “Hanoi in the winter night” and “Mobile phone”. They are widely applauded by audiences because they deal with pressing issues. People’s Artist Minh Hoa is Deputy Director of the Theater: “Every theater tries to create its own style. The Hanoi Drama Theater continues its tradition of reflecting burning social issues. The theater wants to share its views on current issues in Vietnam. The dramas reflect the public’s feelings and interests. We have consistently pursued our tradition over the past 55 years and created our own style. We also offer pure entertainment for other tastes”.
People’s Artist Minh Hoa says dramas reflect real life and promote good social models. These topics may sound dry but the actors‘ talent gives the plays more interest. Audiences now have opportunities to enjoy many new types of entertainment, but the plays of the Hanoi Drama Theater attract a large audience. People’s Artist Minh Hoa told VOV: “We are currently showing the drama “Hanoi’s children” to mark the 60th anniversary of Hanoi’s Liberation. Our cast members are enthusiastic and passionate about their characters. We perform three shows a day. A play is 2 and a half hours long but nobody leave early. The play gets big applause from the audience, which shows we are successful artistically as well as financially“.
Acting talent plays a decisive role in inspiring the audience. The Hanoi Drama Theatre is the workplace of talented actors like Hoang Dung, Minh Hoa, Xuan Dong, Tien Dat, Cong Ly and Kieu Thanh. Famous younger actors include Quang Minh, Thanh Huong and Le Thien Tung. Dramas are a challenge for the actors, especially the younger ones. But they are also an opportunity to gain learn experience and show off their talent. Le Thien Tung is a young actor: “Dramas are an art genre that needs to be preserved and promoted. It’s really hard for actors and actresses to perform in these dramas because we have to work harder to make the dramas inspiring. We also need to be more creative in our acting”. Dramas have become a trademark of the Hanoi Drama Theatre. Minh Hoa says the theatre will continue to create more dramas as well as stories about war and the revolution.
