Youth Theatre presents first classic drama

The Hanoi-based Youth Theatre has organised the final rehearsal of a famous German drama “Plot and Love”, the first of 100 classic dramas that will be re-staged under an ambitious project funded by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The drama will be performed at the Youth Theatre at 11 Ngo Thi Nham street, Hanoi from now until it is broadcast live on the national VTV1 channel in late October 2008.

“Plot and Love”, a great work by Schindler, is a three-sided love story involving the Prime Minister's son named Ferdinand (played by Quang Anh) who loves Louise (Quach Thu Phuong), the daughter of a poor musician named Minler. Meanwhile, Lady Winfore (People’s Artist Le Khanh) loves the PM’s son.

This is a German story but it is widely known by Vietnamese audiences because this is not the first time “Plot and Love” has been staged in Vietnam Several directors successfully put on this drama in the 1970s.
