After our fun and colourful Ma'Ma Yong, we're revealing, 'angel-ism', our swanky new play, to be presented as part of the OCBC SINGAPORE THEATRE FESTIVAL. What's the show about, you might ask.

The problem is, the director and the cast will not be around. But the designers want to finish their work, the operators need their practice and the producer had paid for the crew… the show must go on! Watch as every production member and technical crew take turns to play the roles from the play. Betrayed Babies is a naturalistic, melodramatic play about a family of women struck by personal tragedies, set in the style of a TV Sandiwara of the 80’s, but now, presented by professional techies (read : non-actors). As they call cues, plot lights, change sets and check their sound, they deconstruct the acting conventions and allow their technical expertise takes over the stage! THE CREATIVES Director / Playwright : Aidli Alin Mosbit http://panggungarts.multiply.com/calendar/item/10003/M1_Singapore_Fringe_Festival_2009 Mon, 28 Jan 2008 23:01:18 -0000 inspired by Aidili 'Alin' Mosbit's '...Dan Tiga Dara Terbang Ke Bulan'... Story : … Dan Tinggal Tiga Baju Raya! is an adaptation of the playwright Alin Mosbit’s earlier work, … Dan Tiga Dara Terbang Ke Bulan! Still bounded by the themes of friendship, memories and the celebration of Eid’ul Fitri, the updated version of Tiga Dara now is made up of three men. One is in a coma due to a terminal illness, another is a father who’s going through an early mid-life crisis and the last one is a spirit, returning for a short visit. Recollecting their pasts on the night before Raya, they unfold little tales of adventures and tragedies. A mix of Poor Theatre, Brechtian Techniques, Sandiwara and Physical Theatre… Tiga Baju Raya will be a true and pure theatrical experience!

Drop us an email if you have any enquiries. Playwright’s Message: Ma’ma Yong is a loose adaption of William Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, from which, only the story line is retained. Everything else, all characters, places, dialogues and timeline has been altered to accomodate to the writer’s disposition. The similarities of this William Shakespeare play to a number classical Malay tales are prominent in this take. Fatimah, an English literature teacher, is bedevilled by the primadona of Mak Yong. She introduces herself as Ma’ma Yong, hailing from Pasir Putih, Kelantan. Every evening, Fatimah will display fiendish behaviour. She was reportedly often seen sin... http://panggungarts.multiply.com/calendar/item/10001/Mama_Yong_-_About_Nothing_Much_To_Do Sun, 27 Jan 2008 17:37:26 -0000
