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.[1] Long's play Chén thuốc độc was performed on the Hanoi Opera House stage on the evening of October 20, 1921.[2] The play was performed by the Văn hóa (Culture) drama company.[3][4] Vũ Đình Long, like the younger Nam Xương, adopted western techniques, but retained an idealization of Vietnamese patriarchal life.[5][6][7] In 1943 Long joined the Hội Văn hóa Cứu quốc - the National Salvation Culture Society.
