Comedy
Comedy is a genre of dramatic works intended to be humorous or amusing by inducing laughter, especially in theatre, film, stand-up comedy, television, radio, books, or any other entertainment medium. Origins Comedy originated in ancient Greece: in Athenian democracy, the public opinion of voters was influenced by political satire performed by comic poets in Ancient Greek theatre, theaters. The theatrical genre of Greek comedy can be described as a dramatic performance pitting two groups, ages, genders, or societies against each other in an amusing ''agon'' or conflict. Northrop Frye depicted these two opposing sides as a "Society of Youth" and a "Society of the Old". A revised view characterizes the essential agon of comedy as a struggle between a relatively powerless youth and the societal conventions posing obstacles to his hopes. In this struggle, the youth then becomes constrained by his lack of social authority, and is left with little choice but to resort to ruses which e ...

Vũ Đình Long
Vũ Đình Long (19 December 1896 - 14 August 1960) was a Vietnamese dramatist noted for the first western style spoken play in Vietnamese - ''A cup of Poison'' in 1921. The Western-influenced style of "théâtre parlé" (kịch nói) was a departure from traditional Vietnamese theatre. Long's play ''Chén thuốc độc'' was performed on the Hanoi Opera House stage on the evening of October 20, 1921. The play was performed by the Văn hóa (Culture) drama company. Vũ Đình Long, like the younger Nam Xương, adopted western techniques, but retained an idealization of Vietnamese patriarchal life. In 1943 Long joined the Hội Văn hóa Cứu quốc - the National Salvation Culture Society.
