This Vietnamese drama/play written in verse depicts the history of Trung Träc (Zheng Ce) – later known as Queen TRUNG – and her sister’s armed revolt against the Chinese Han Dynasty in the year 40 A.D., during its second invasion of Giao Chi (Jiaozhi). Giao Chi is now a part of northern Vietnam. The Hâ?u Hán s?? (Hou Han Shu) recorded that Tr?ng’s rebellion would liberate Giao Chi (Jiaozhi) and avenge the murder of her patriot husband Thi Sach (Shi Suo) by To Dinh (Su Ting), a brutal and ruthless Chinese governor. In 42 A.D., Han China dispatched General Ma? Viê?n (Ma Yuan) to quell the rebellion. In 43 A.D., the Han army defeated the Tr?ng sisters and regained complete control of Giao Chi. According to Vietnamese chronicles, the two sisters drowned themselves in the river rather than surrender to the Han. The author has included a brief introduction before each act to help English readers better follow the play. The English version is a literal translation – not an adaptation of the original Vietnamese version – and therefore, is not regarded as an English drama play in verse.
