Historical themes always have a special appeal to the stage. Currently in Ho Chi Minh City, IDECAF Drama Theater is a socialized unit preparing to launch 3 plays on Vietnamese historical themes: "The Great Duke of the Left Army Le Van Duyet" (author: Pham Van Quy, director: Hoang Duan); "Tran Thu Do - Heroes and Villains" (author: Le Chi Trung, director - Meritorious Artist Le Nguyen Dat) and "The Great Queen of Me Linh" (author: Vu Minh, director: Bach Long).
Experts say this is a remarkable effort by producer Huynh Anh Tuan (IDECAF Drama Theater) when investing heavily in Vietnamese historical drama. Producer Huynh Anh Tuan said that in artistic creation, any historical stage work must have two distinct parts: the real life of history and the fictional part of the artist. To have a soaring artistic creation, the alertness of the production team is needed: author, director, actors and stages such as: art design, costumes, sound, lighting, props... "If one of these stages deviates, it will not be effective and attract the audience" - said Mr. Huynh Anh Tuan.

That is why, right from the stage of literary scripts, he is the one who intentionally edits according to the new perspective of contemporary viewers. "Historical plays are works of art. A historical story must certainly bring to the audience valuable lessons about personality through the beauty of the souls of historical figures. The stories must give the audience many things to think about today's life" - Mr. Huynh Anh Tuan emphasized.
Besides IDECAF Drama Theater, Hong Van Theater, World Youth Theater, Bach Long Children Theater, and Tran Huu Trang Theater are also very passionate about historical and ancient themes. "If we do something, we will learn from each other and look at each other to improve. The audience has the right to choose and the innovation in thinking about making a stage will be a good sign for the current Vietnamese historical drama theme" - Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Minh Thai expressed.
Historian Le Van Lan said he highly appreciates those who write stage plays and films about Vietnamese history. According to him, through their love for Vietnamese history, theatrical works will help the younger generation better understand the history of Vietnam's origins.
