(VOVworld) – The Tale of Kieu by Nguyen Du will staged by the Vietnam Drama Theatre next month. The play directed by People’s Artist Anh Tu will present the Tale of Kieu in a new art form but will preserve the social themes of the story, the injustice of Vietnam’s feudal society and the emotional suffering of people, especially women.

The work celebrates kindness, filial piety, and loyalty.  The Tale of Kieu will be told through singing and dancing. Anh Tu said: "The play is performed in a different style but respects the original content. The Tale of Kieu reflects a deteriorating feudal society dominated by money and power. But I want to highlight the great humanitarian values in the work".
