The drama reading program takes place at Café La Rotonde (185B, Tran Hung Dao, District 1, HCMC), twice a month, on the middle and last Tuesday evenings of the month.
Play reading, add new play format
Talking to Tuoi Tre Online , director Viet Linh said that the form of reading plays is quite popular abroad but is probably still new in Vietnam.
This is a project that the director has cherished for a long time. She made it with the hope that the audience would have a new form of enjoying drama.
These are plays that have already been performed on stage, now in another format.
The opening play of the drama reading program number 1 is Thien Thien .
Thien Thien Drama is the first stage project of director Viet Linh, released in 2014.
The play was written by her from the combination of ideas from two short stories Happiness is Together (author Vu Hoi Nguyen) and Xoa (Tang Song Nam).
Thien Thien features artists Thanh Thuy, Minh Trang, Hong Anh, Khanh Hoang, Quy Binh, Quoc Thao, Cat Tuong, Van Trang...
Director Viet Linh shared about the drama reading program: "This form is similar to Listening to stories at night , but the drama reading is more elaborate and dramatic because the actors directly perform the roles with sound, music...".
According to her, watching movies is 100% imposed, watching plays is 50% imposed, with reading plays she believes that the audience can develop 100% of the play's content imagination according to personal feelings, without being forced to look.
