Women who have endured abuse at home will join actors onstage to tell their stories in Hanoi on June 15.

The drama, “Toi Oi Dung Tuyet Vong” (Inviting Me to Hope), draws on the women’s mental and physical suffering, as well as their dreams of a better life.
The performance also will include contemporary dance and audience interaction.
Tuoi Tre Theater is co-hosting the event with the Center for Studies and Applied Sciences in Gender, Family, Women, and Adolescents. Organizers said they hope the play contributes to domestic violence prevention as one aspect of World Population Day.
“Toi Oi Dung Tuyet Vong” will take place at 8 p.m. at 11 Ngo Thi Nham Street.
