Title:

Vietnamese theatre, vol. 9

Scope & Content:

Part of a collection of 46 plays and legends, possibly from Hue, the capital of Vietnam during the Nguyễn dynasty (1802-1945). Most of the plays do not have the author’s name, date and place except one play (Sự tích ra tuồng) which has a line reading ‘làm vào ngày tháng tốt năm Tự Đức 3’. Trần Nghĩa, a Vietnamese specialist in Hán-Nôm who researched the manuscripts at the British Library back in 1995, said that it was written in 1850 during the reign of Emperor Tự Đức (1847-1883). It should be noted that every ruler of the Nguyễn dynasty patronised classical plays and Tự Đức in particular, encouraged court poets to writes classical plays.
