On the full moon of the first lunar month (February 24th), the Idecaf Theatre crew visited the Ong Ba Chieu mausoleum (Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City) to offer incense and begin rehearsals for the play " Duke Le Van Duyet, the Left General" .
The original script, written by author Pham Van Quy, was titled " The Man with Nine Death Sentences ," and was staged by the Ho Chi Minh City Drama Theatre as the play "General Le Van Duyet " (directed by the late People's Artist Doan Hoang Giang) in 2008.
At the time, this was a large-scale historical play, costing billions of dong to produce and featuring over 100 actors. The role of General Le Van Duyet was played by artist Quyen Linh.

Artist Dinh Toan and his fellow artists from the Idecaf Theatre offer incense at the Ong Ba Chieu mausoleum.

In this new play, the role of General Le Van Duyet is played by artist Dinh Toan; other artists participating in the play include: Hoang Trinh as Do Thi Phan, Dai Nghia as Huynh Cong Ly, Quang Thao as King Minh Mang, My Duyen as Hue Phi...
When recreating and modernizing a play about the career and life of a historical figure – a person who made significant contributions to building, developing, stabilizing, and protecting the southern region – the Idecaf Theatre team had many advantages. Director Hoang Duan (PhD – lecturer at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture) was an assistant director to People's Artist Doan Hoang Giang in 2008 when they staged the play " General Le Van Duyet" . Not only that, Hoang Duan also participated in the play as Chin Duoc, a bandit general who was later reformed by General Le Van Duyet... In 2020, Hoang Duan once again recreated the life and career of General Le Van Duyet through the Cai Luong play "Death Sentence" , winning the gold medal at the 2020 National Television Festival.
The historical play "General Le Van Duyet" is scheduled to premiere in March.
