Blood Pen was written by author and director Minh Nguyet based on the short story of the same name by writer Vu Hanh, first staged on Ganh Trang Stage. Vo Minh Lam plays writer Tran Sinh.

Vo Minh Lam has a new combination

The crew did not reveal much about the content of the play Blood Pen . They only said that this is a play that combines poetry, tradition and contemporary elements. Where light, music and dialogue blend together to create emotions for the stage space.

Among the participating artists, professionals pay attention to People's Artist Hoang Yen and Meritorious Artist Vo Minh Lam.

Hoang Yen is currently in charge of organizing performances at the Young World Experimental Theater (under the University of Theatre and Cinema, Ho Chi Minh City).

Although not a star artist, everyone in the profession knows Hoang Yen. Because she is not only good at her job but also the one who spends her own money to make many Vietnamese historical plays that have left an impression for many years.

Most of the plays performed by Hoang Yen are highly appreciated. Some of them are Am Binh, Me De, Yeu La Thoat Toi, Thanh Thang Long in Those Days, Nu Si Ho Xuan Huong ...

Meanwhile, Vo Minh Lam is a famous cai luong actor with a series of heavy roles in many plays such as Co dao hat, Nguoi ven do, Cau tho yen ngua, Buc ngon do Dai Viet ...

In Blood Pen , artist Hoang Yen plays the role of Tran Sinh's wife, played by Vo Minh Lam. This is the first time they've worked together, and they're playing husband and wife, so the audience who love Hoang Yen and Vo Minh Lam are waiting to see how this combination will turn out.

Director Minh Nguyet places high hopes on Blood Pen

This is not the first time Vo Minh Lam has played a writer. Previously, he had experience with the image of a writer in the children's play Give me a ticket to childhood at Hong Hac Stage.

This time, the role of Tran Sinh will be more mature and thorny. Not only will it give Vo Minh Lam the opportunity to delve deeper into the character's psychology, but it will also create conditions for him to demonstrate his forte, which is the dance forms of Cai Luong.

In addition to his wife, Tran Sinh also has a lover named Duyen Huong (played by Minh Anh), making the audience even more curious about his rather complicated relationships.

With director Minh Nguyet, Vo Minh Lam was once trusted by her to play the male lead role in the play The Voice of the Jade Garden Bird , performed at the 5B Drama Theater.

It seems that in every play, Minh Nguyet wants to exploit and challenge Vo Minh Lam. In The Voice of the Jade Garden , the character has a female soul in a male body, a character that left an impression on artist Thanh Loc several decades ago.

In Blood Pen , Minh Nguyet lets Vo Minh Lam transform into a talented scholar, carrying the pain of losing his entire family. He must choose between the sword and the pen, between justice and temptation, between faith and fame.

Artist Cong Danh co-directed with Minh Nguyet in Blood Pen . In addition to Hoang Yen, Vo Minh Lam, Minh Anh, the play also features actors Cong Hau, Nguyen Quoc Viet, Huynh Lam Khoi, Phuoc Loc...
