AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This play is based on a Vietnamese tale which explains how the man in the moon got there. When a tiger unknowingly leads Chu Cuoi to a tree with magic leaves he thinks he might be able to make some money from them. When the Emperor's daughter falls ill Chu Cuoi cures her with the leaves and is thus granted her hand in marriage. However, when the Princess digs in the soil around the magic tree it has unexpected consequences. (Source: Book)
