Actress Luu Thi Ngoc Mai plays the emotional role of Mrs. Kieu in the play "Deep Night"
At a very young age, actress Luu Thi Ngoc Mai surprised experts and theater-loving audiences when she shone at the 5th National Professional Theater Festival on the Image of the People's Public Security Soldier - 2025.
Psychological depth, strong inner strength
With the role of Mrs. Kieu - a mother whose daughter was tricked by criminals to cross the border in the play "Deep Night", Ngoc Mai touched the deepest emotions of the audience with her genuine acting, bringing psychological depth and strong inner strength.
Before stepping onto the big stage and making a splash in "Deep Night", Ngoc Mai had taken baby steps but with great effort in previous plays such as: "Ho oi" and "Duoi bong Hoa Ban", "Nhung ke di mong mo"... In the play "Ho oi", she played the role of Thanh - a young Vietnamese mother living in the US, struggling between the desire to preserve her roots and the harsh reality of life in exile. Although it was her first role, Ngoc Mai was able to express a torn inner self, convincing the audience with her sincerity and simplicity.

Next, the role of May in the play "Under the Shade of Ban Flowers" marks her rapid maturity in acting.
Looking back on her journey, from two short roles, Ngoc Mai found the motivation and courage to enter the professional stage. She reached gradually deeper roles such as Uyen Khanh in the play "Ca bong kho to" - a singer who once followed temporary tastes, lost her ego, but was then awakened by the love and tolerance of her father. This play won 5 medals at the 2023 Theater Festival, and the role of Uyen Khanh was considered one of the emotional highlights of the play.
In the play "The Strange Dreamers", Luu Thi Ngoc Mai transforms into Kieu Le Tam - a famous lounge singer who decides to join a troupe that takes in people considered "strange" by society.
This is a psychologically and emotionally challenging role, as the character has many conflicts between fame and kindness. Ngoc Mai not only performs well in dramatic dialogues but also conveys emotional depth through each look and calm voice.
Important turning point from the role of Mrs. Print style "Deep Night"
The effort that has been recognized in Ngoc Mai's journey to the present is the role of Mrs. Kieu in "Deep Night" (author, director Quoc Thao). A mother who is anxious and in pain because her daughter was tricked and sold to Cambodia - this character is not only the tragic connection of the play, but also an emotional hinge that leads the audience to sympathize with the victims and those who remain.
Ngoc Mai's acting is considered "capable beyond her years", bringing depth and intense emotions without the need for techniques or exaggeration.
The efforts of actress Luu Thi Ngoc Mai in the role of Mrs. Kieu - the play "Deep Night" participated in the festival about the image of the people's police officer in Hanoi on the evening of July 4.
Director Quoc Thao commented: "As an ethnic girl with a strong personality, living between the line between love for the person she loves and duty to the village, the character May is portrayed by actress Ngoc Mai with her eyes, gestures and every silent moment full of cinematic quality.
I was very happy with Ngoc Mai's progress, and until she took on the role of Mrs. Kieu, Tu's mother, she acted deeply, expressed the pain of a mother who lost her child and was helped by the people's police officers, thereby rescuing many people like Tu who were captured by transnational criminals. When receiving her daughter's remains, Ngoc Mai acted very emotionally."
Artist Huu Nghia commented: "Ngoc Mai not only plays the role of the mother, she lives with Mrs. Kieu's pain - that is difficult for a young actress to do."

Luu Thi Ngoc Mai did not choose the easy path. She persistently tried her hand at each role, not afraid of thorny and complicated characters. From a mother in exile, an ethnic girl to a lounge singer or a mother who lost her child - each role is a different emotional world that Ngoc Mai does not repeat herself. It is her "diligence" and discipline in the profession that makes her stand out among the young actors of Quoc Thao stage.
Ngoc Mai's rapid growth is a positive sign for the Ho Chi Minh City stage - a place in need of young actors with heart and vision.
With her ability and eagerness to learn, Luu Thi Ngoc Mai promises to be one of the main faces of the drama stage in the near future.
