1896 –
Who is Vũ Đình Long?
Vũ Đình Long was a Vietnamese dramatist noted for the first western style spoken play in Vietnamese - A cup of Poison in 1921.
The Western-influenced style of "théâtre parlé" was a departure from traditional Vietnamese theatre. Long's play Chén thuốc độc was performed on the Hanoi Opera House stage on the evening of October 20, 1921. The play was performed by the Văn hóa drama company. Vũ Đình Long, like the younger Nam Xương, adopted western techniques, but retained an idealization of Vietnamese patriarchal life. In 1943 Long joined the Hội Văn hóa Cứu quốc - the National Salvation Culture Society.
