"As humans, we love stories. They have been shared in every
culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation
and instilling moral values. Now is your chance to hear and see people’s
personal tales in an on-stage format yet to be tried out in Vietnam.
Narrated by a wide variety of people from different backgrounds, this
should be a fascinating night and one certainly not to be missed. (Word Vietnam)
