Artists of Hong Van Drama Theater made a beautiful impression at the 5th National Professional Theater Festival on "Image of People's Public Security Soldiers" - 2025.
On the morning of June 27 at the Army Theater ( Hanoi ), the drama "Another War" staged by Hong Van Drama Theater was officially performed within the framework of the National Professional Theater Festival on "The Image of the People's Public Security Soldier" for the 5th time - 2025. With a bold theme, meticulous artistic quality and timely message, the play attracted a large audience in the capital and received applause throughout the performance.
As the first socialized theater unit among the four theaters in Ho Chi Minh City participating in this year's festival, the crew brought a drama with a strong criminal element but handled with deep psychology and humanity.
Author Tong Phuong Dung and director Meritorious Artist Le Nguyen Dat chose a non-sensational approach, focusing on the problem of crime in the medical sector - a sensitive dark area that has never been touched upon by the theater stage.

The case began with signs of irregularities in drug bidding at a major hospital. When batches of poor quality drugs entered the hospital room, Dr. Hoa (Lam Vy Da) was the first to speak up.
Her determination is met with fierce resistance from the hospital director (Tuan Anh) and the group of interest groups. Standing by Hoa's side is Captain Minh Kien (Minh Luan) - a criminal police officer who is dedicated to solving cases in a "battlefield" without gunfire but full of danger.
Director Meritorious Artist Le Nguyen Dat always chooses difficult topics to challenge himself. He is someone who likes to explore new things, read newspapers, learn and research current news continuously to update hot issues, put them into staging and participate in scriptwriting.From there, the play had very real situations, impressively exploited and left a beautiful echo in the audience's hearts about the beauty of the image of the people's police officer who sacrificed himself for the peaceful life of the people.

A touch of socialized theater on current affairs
Before going to Hanoi to compete, Hong Van Drama Theater performed 3 shows to test the audience's appeal and received positive feedback. Without using special effects, the play within the play "Another War" chooses to tell the story through deep psychological conflicts, with the highlight being the consistent acting of the entire cast.
Lam Vy Da transformed into the image of the brave and complex doctor Hoa. Minh Luan completely transformed into the role of a police officer who was dedicated but not alone. The villainous roles of NS Lac Hoang Long and Bui Cong Danh were portrayed with sophistication and persuasiveness.
Minh Nga plays the role of the mother emotionally.
The performance with Khanh - Le Nguyen Tuan Anh brought tears to the audience about the regret of parents who are busy making money and forget their responsibility to care for their children's feelings and spirit. Hoang Yen and Khoi Nguyen are two very cute slices of the play, representing the thoughts of today's youth about responsibility towards life.

Receiving a standing ovation from the Hanoi audience after the performance, the play not only touched emotions, but also evoked profound thoughts: In a turbulent society, art is not only for entertainment – but also a place to protect justice.
Artist Minh Luan, who plays Minh Kien, shared after the show: "I have played many dramatic roles, but this is the one that moved me the most. The character Minh Kien is not a hero who is fearless, he knows fear - fear of losing his wife and children, fear of enemies targeting his loved ones - but he still chooses to do the right thing. I think the audience feels that truth, because they are also facing many similar choices in real life."

Artist Lam Vy Da, who is taking on a leading role in a psychological drama for the first time, expressed: "I feel really pressured because the audience is used to me playing comedic roles. But the character of Dr. Hoa is so special - an ordinary but courageous woman. When I stepped onto the stage in Hanoi today, I didn't act - I lived with her pain and her choices. Seeing the audience shed tears, I understood that I did the right thing by taking this step."
The capital's audience loves Lam Vy Da and Minh Luan in the play "Another War"
People's Artist Hong Van, representative of Hong Van Theater, emotionally said: "I know that choosing this topic is difficult in terms of revenue because the play is very selective of the audience and the audience's psychology. But I believe that if the theater does well in plays that stick to social topics and touch on the truth, the play entered in the festival will also attract the audience. And today at the Army Theater - Hanoi, the encouragement of the capital's audience is the strongest proof of that belief."
