The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre presents….

Last two weeks, I have joined the ‘Taming of the Shrew’ group went to watch a play entitle Untitled, Uncut and Paperhouse at KLPac, Sentul. We went there by the UPM bus and the journey to the KLPac was such a bad trip, as some the crews just do not how to sit still and shut up! It was my first time went to the KLPac, as I do not know how to go there, and there was no public transport. First of all, KLPac was absolutely stunning. As I enter the main gate, I have imagined myself in Hollywood, with lighted tress bordering the road. Plus, we went there at night, thus it adds up the magnificence. Besides, the building itself was such splendor with red bricks and glass for walls and paintings and huge banners plastered all over…brilliance!
The play was splendid! What makes it so overwhelming was because the minimal used of props. For the three different plays, there were ONLY used boxes. They just had to move the boxes, and they just have to pretend cleaning, drinking, and watch TV. I should salute the casts, as they were so excellent, because the way they pretend to play with the boxes was such a real! There were three plays here. The Untitled and Peperhouse were so typical Malaysian Chinese, where we can sense the Chinese slang. However, in the Uncut, I had to give a standing ovation. Plus, it was played by my favourite actress, which is Aishah Sinclair and Hafizsuddin. I was so surprised to see the actor, as he always play in Malay dramas and movies, thus I did not expect him to play in an English play. The play was cynical, as the issue was fuhhh… for those who did those things, obviously could not sit still. In addition, they used vulgar language such as fuck off, shag, screw and bong. After finished watching it, I feel so proud that our Malaysian can produce such an awesome play.
