TNT revives its internationally acclaimed production in autumn 2014. Too many stage versions and even films ignore that this story is not a novel but a myth that has grown out of Mary Shelley's original; so our production combines Boris Karloff's immense impact with that of the original story to create a fascinating and entertaining new work. This FRANKENSTEIN is a Gothic comedy and a gripping a horror thriller that explores the darker themes within the myth. Should scientific research be held back by irrational prejudice or religious … [Read more...] about EVENTS SCHEDULED FOR FEB. 1-10 (daily updated)

The saviour
Short Story (04-11-2007) The saviour by Tram Nguyen Y Anh Mrs Tu sat on the bamboo bed in silence, listening to the patter of raindrops dripping through the rotten roof, creating puddles on the cement floor. She was dressed in warm clothes but continued to shiver. It had been raining for two days without pause and the weather seemed to penetrate her very core. She was desperately lonely. She listened as sudden footsteps approached from outside and heard the rustle of a raincoat being removed. "Who's that?" she asked, a wave of concern in her voice. "It's me, Trung," the local policeman responded. "I thought the rain might be bothering you, so I came to see if I could lend a hand." She relaxed once she realised it was not her son Tuan, her emotions shifting between happiness and regret. If her son failed to return home, he was less likely to get caught. But if the police found him, he'd be arrested immediately. In any case, his long period in hiding made her anxious. "There's a big … [Read more...] about The saviour
The Ragout rabbit
Short Story (05-04-2009) The Ragout rabbit by Luu Quang Minh At the age of nearly seventy, Grannie lived with her son and his wife and her grandson. Her son was a general practitioner, who worked all day at a busy hospital. His wife worked for a municipal consulting centre until late in the evening. Their son was at school from dawn to dusk. After returning home, he took a shower, had dinner then retired to his own room. "Would you mind not disturbing me while I'm reviewing my lessons, Grannie?" he asked his old grandmother. But whenever he left the door open and she passed by his study she only ever heard him shouting, "Bang bang! Bang bang!" as his hands scrambled over the keys of a video game. So Grannie was alone most of the time: from morning to afternoon, from afternoon to evening, and sometimes until late at night. Her main chore was to prepare meals for the whole family. Early in the morning, she went to market to buy meat, fish, fruit and bundles of vegetables for dinner. … [Read more...] about The Ragout rabbit
The Second Floor
by Phong Diep Three people lived on the second floor. The rheumatic mother, over 60, used to be a young volunteer. Her son worked in a printing shop and her daughter-in-law was a shoe-maker. After the father died, the first floor was reserved for renting, but was presently unused. This was the reason for the girl who turned up on the door step of this ocean blue two-storey house with its back to the park; she had read an advert in the newspaper. The room she rented was 14 sq. metres large with a separate door and an 8 square metre kitchen adjacent to the staircase on the first floor. It was luxurious enough for Phan, a provincial girl who tried to keep pace with the splendorous and sumptuous city. Phan worked all day and returned to the narrow box room at night, when the last bits of television news were aired. In constant fear of making noise in the dead of night, she cautiously turned on the tap and caught the running water in her hands. When the wash-basin was half full, she turned … [Read more...] about The Second Floor
