Lunar New Year play: 'Who here is sane?'

The story is about mentally ill people being admitted to a small hospital, where treatment is not only provided through medication but also through love, compassion, and affection.

Each person has their own circumstances; they are pushed around and oppressed by life, leading to mental breakdown. Some are betrayed in love, others are pursued by debt, some are addicted to drugs, and some are assaulted while livestreaming... But they have found a haven of peace during their dark days. People like Doctor Tuong (Le Anh Bang), Nurse Quyen (Kha Nhu), and Mrs. Nam the cook (Phuong Lan) have portrayed the image of "a doctor as compassionate as a mother," and this psychiatric hospital serves as a shelter for these vulnerable individuals.

The main and supporting actors, such as Anh Duc, Lam Nguyen, Huu Dang, Diem Phuong, Hinh Hung, Tu My, Bao Linh, etc., played their roles vividly, making the audience burst into laughter many times. The roles of the naive but very lovable patients were particularly endearing, especially Huynh Phuong, the famous member of the FAPtivi group, who played the musician Vu, who was betrayed in love but found a new love in the hospital. When Vu had his "comedy moments," he wasn't disruptive at all; instead, he transformed into a dignified and elegant director, which was hilariously funny. That kind of quiet, comedic acting is something not everyone can do.

The play is touching but not lacking in entertainment.

GOLDEN

Most impressive was the artist Tieu Bao Quoc, a worthy comedian, but he can also act dramatically with great skill. This time, he played Mr. Tri, a recovered patient who longs for his children to take him home for Tet (Lunar New Year). But the son prioritizes his own small family over his father's loneliness. A long scene between father and son brought tears to the viewers' eyes. This moment of silence was precious, enhancing the quality of the script.

It seems that the stage can perfectly balance seriousness and entertainment, rather than being a difficult dilemma between the market and art.
