Andromaque is a tragedy in five acts created by French playwright Jean Racine and written in Alexandrine verse (a style of writing that was adopted in the 16^th century and which uses lines of 12 syllables).

It was translated into Vietnamese in the 1970s by Duong Tuong.

The play was first performed on November 17, 1667 for Louis XIV at the Louvre in the private chambers of Queen Marie Therese, by the royal company of actors that were known as “les Grands Comediens”.

The first public performance took place two days later at the Hotel de Bourgogne in Paris.
