Date: 3rd April 2010

Time: 8:30pm

Venue: Penang Esplanade - George Town

Head over to Esplanade on Saturday, 3rd April 2010 from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm for a dramatic evening injected with local humour and romance but structured around current issues which will leave you pondering on what makes us all simply Malaysians.

“Happening in The Bungalow” is a contemporary play based on a script by Penang’s award winning playwright Lee Joo For. Performed and directed by USM’s final year Acting and Directing students, this play will tickle your funny bone, delight you with a simple story of love developed beyond superficial differences and hit you with a dose of drama and tragedy.

Set in the 50’s, it revolves around four characters – Birch, Rozni, Cheng and Boy. The play opens with Birch, a British businessman, who tries to deflower his secretary Rozni but luck was on her side when Cheng, an idealist who does not believe in killing but reformation, rescues her.

The drama unfolds as Rozni follows Cheng to his bungalow and Boy, Birch’s loyal servant, inadvertently becomes the victim.

What happens next? Will it end with a “happily ever after” for Cheng and Rozni or will fate take Birch’s side?

Admission is free.
