A Midsummer Night's Dream

so the past weeks were quite a fest over here in Georgetown. Lots of events happening around the town. It was George Town Festival 2012 by the way.

okay, cut it short, last Tuesday on the 10th, i went to a Shakespearean play which was performed at Penang Performing Arts Center (penangpac).  this version of A Midsummer Night's Dream was by a team of Malaysian academics and performers that presented a unique version of the world-famous comedic tale of runaway lovers in a forest on a midsummer's night and the magically induced amorous mayhem that arises from domestic quarrels in the fairy world. 

actors delivered Shakespeare's words, tapi set design, props, music dgn choreography reflected local beliefs. okay, fikir, vintage Shakespeare meets quantum physics in a wayang kulit-inspired fairy world. haaa

at first ktorang tak expect pun that we will be going anywhere minggu tu. but then Mr Hussein came into the class and offered us an affordable price for the tickets. so, that's how it came about.


the problem about it was that there was no transportation for us to go as far as Straits Quay for the lot of us and ergo, ktorang kena mohon for college's transportation. and for that to happen kena ada orang yang jadi coordinator to manage all the stuffs dengan pejabat. and with all that kind of fuss, nobody yang nak pun jadi that coordinator (even me!). idk how it happened that suddenly me, san, orang yang paling takkan volunteer untuk urus apa2 pun dalam college - ever, boleh jadi the kepala for this -.-''


after that, merasa lah all the tiredness of coordinating such out-of-college-activity, yang kena naik turun pejabat, keluar masuk department jumpa lecturer, watching the lecturers gaduh2 taknak take charge on us, tunggu the Madams habis meeting till late Friday afternoon sampai kejar2 nak balik petang tu (sorry MA) lol, jumpa ketua jabatan dgn lecturer2 lain just to get their signatures for the forms.


anyways, it all went well, we managed to go there, and watched the play. can't say the play was really good tapi boleh laa, i laughed a few times. mislina mustaffa did a good job in playing Titania. i say that i prefer tengok dia on stage play rather than on screen. the one that she acted in Mukhsin tak terasa apa pun. and that guy, Sheikh Rahman, maighaddd he's so handsome(!). i thought he was a japs or american-chinese or else. skali nama Sheikh Rahman. aduhh. haha


and no, i don't have any pictures during the play. i was trying to concentrate and understand the play kott :P

L-R: jimm, kiah, odah, awien, mdm mars, san, faris, thiru, mdm choong chin ching

and the rest of these that i took from ISC page

adieu!,
