The play affirms the qualities and bravery of the people's police officers.
“The End” was directed by Dao Duy Anh based on a script by author Le Quy Hien. The play is set in a traffic accident, when Hung - a rich kid who inherited his father's company, drove a car while drunk and killed someone.
To "get out of jail" for his son, Mr. Dung (Hung's father) asked his nephew to take the blame for him and at the same time find a way to compensate the victim's family.
All the evidence was arranged in such a way that the truth seemed to be buried. However, from the smallest traces, Ngoc - a young and professional police officer - still decided to reopen the case to restore justice and truth to their rightful place.
Unlike many plays that often focus on the topic of anti-corruption, "The End" is impressive because it chooses its own approach, which is to exploit the tragedies and mistakes that stem from debts of gratitude and favor.
The father tried to hide his crime because he loved his son. His girlfriend kept silent because of her feelings for Hung. His nephew was willing to take the blame because he was grateful to Mr. Dung's family. Lieutenant Colonel Binh - a police chief who had solved many difficult cases, also accepted to falsify documents because of his debt of gratitude to Hung's father.
The play explores the tragedies and mistakes that arise from debts of gratitude.
From here, the play sounds a strong warning that crimes often do not come from greed but from misplaced emotions. However, the most important thing is that people need to wake up.
When Hung's girlfriend - the only witness in the car that committed the crime - decided to tell the truth after much struggle and pain due to guilt; when Lieutenant Colonel Binh - the person considered a symbol of justice decided not to compromise, it was also the time when the message of awakening was fully conveyed by author Le Quy Hien.
Watching the play, along with the unexpected plot, viewers cannot help but wonder about the story revolving around love, justice, mistakes and each person's choices.
"The ending" is told coherently, in layers, continuously opening up dramatic cuts.
To convey a story with many psychological conflicts, director Dao Duy Anh has handled the stage delicately when showing the confrontation between reason and emotional struggles. Especially in the scene where the director uses bronze doors appearing on stage to express the thoughts of the police officer named Ngoc when reviewing the details surrounding the case, or when the perpetrator, haunted by guilt, lifts the curtain to see the victim...
At the end of the play, the scene of suitcases of money being thrown violently on the stage, then neatly set up, and then knocked over by the approaching wheel, provided evocative images affirming the victory of truth, conscience and awakening.
The coherent and layered storytelling, continuously opening up dramatic slices, has brought a play that attracts the audience from beginning to end.
In particular, the success of the play cannot be denied to the acting ability of the Youth Theatre cast. The play does not have many characters, but each character is given a "stage" and shows their inner development, with very human elements, whether they are the perpetrators or the silent accomplices to the crime.
The actors successfully portrayed the characters' inner turmoil.
Playing the role of a police officer named Ngoc, young actor Quang Trong successfully portrayed the image of a brave police officer, unwavering in the face of power, steadfast to the end for justice and truth. Two young actors Duc Anh (as Hung) and Huyen Trang (Hung's lover) also impressively portrayed the calculations or obsession with sin.
Besides, the sharp acting of Meritorious Artist Quang Anh (as Mr. Dung) and artist Quynh Duong (as Lieutenant Colonel Binh) is also a factor that increases the surprise and persuasiveness of the play.
“The End” can be considered a fairly complete and coherent work in both script and staging, with effective support from music , stage design and lighting. The play has succeeded in affirming the message: no matter how hard you try to hide or avoid it, the truth will eventually be revealed, and people cannot help but pay the price for their own choices.
