Lan Phuong and child actors.

With this new role, Lan Phuong encountered many difficulties, but she said that it was also an extremely interesting time when working with children - a "ticket to childhood" that helped her remember her childhood memories.

The rehearsals with the child actors are therefore always filled with laughter. But besides that, the female director is sometimes exhausted because the children are still busy playing and lack concentration.

To have a satisfactory June 1st gift for the children, the actress from Hanoi devoted all her efforts from choosing the script to selecting actors as well as staging and guiding the children during the rehearsal process. Among them, there were children who had been invited to act in films and were quite confident in front of the camera but had never had experience performing on stage, so Lan Phuong had to equip them from the beginning with the necessary stage skills, from diction to dialogue, juggling and expressing emotions on stage..., to be able to perform the role well.

Having been a dancer in her early days in the arts, in addition to being the director, Lan Phuong also choreographed the dance “Peacock” for little Ha My (as Hong Hoa), which was also her dance when she was a child.

The novel “My Little Angel” is one of the famous works of Nguyen Nhat Anh. The story tells the beautiful and sad friendship between Kha - a 10-year-old boy who loves reading and nature and the innocent, lovely eight-year-old girl Hong Hoa with dimples. Kha and his brother Khanh were moved by their parents to a new house with a lovely little garden full of fruit trees. From this poetic garden, Kha accidentally met Hong Hoa. Their friendship blossomed, closely tied to the garden with many sad and happy stories.

Director Viet Linh and actress Lan Phuong are very fond of the humane, sad and beautiful story about the childhood world of Nguyen Nhat Anh. Viet Linh is the author who adapted the script "My Little Angel". She believes that Lan Phuong can fulfill her role as director well: "The main characters in the play are children. This is an advantage for Lan Phuong because she is used to working on projects with young children. In addition, Lan Phuong is also a lover of literature and has a lot of passion for the stage", said the director.

Lan Phuong helps the actors grasp the script.

The actress enthusiastically directed the lines...
