Fiftynineminutes

"Two friends discover faith, direction adn the truth. An actress whom we all like to hate. A bitter past haunts a bitterer couple. A girl finds beauty in ugliness. A man and a woman make love over dinner. A fellow Malaysian makes the country proud. And a group of roommates bring back the dead - all within fiftynineminutes."
- the oral stage presents fiftynineminutes, original short plays and monologues

In my opinion, a good play is one which is able convey not just its wit but more importantly its intended emotions to the audience. Fiftynineminutes did just that. There were a lot of emotions invested in the play and there were times that the acting got so real that I actually felt a little uncomfortable. Kudos to Reuben Kang, Sharanya M., Kelvin Wong, Doreen Loo and Krystle Wong for their stellar performance. My favorite short play was the satirical "World's Smelliest Durian" - excellent script by Patricia Low, good performance by Johann Lim and good direction by Kelvin Wong. It's so good that it qualifies for a standing ovation! "Showers of Flowers" was my next favorite.

Conclusion? At only RM10, it's the chinaman's dream to watch this play as it is worth every cent. Frankly, I felt that I was underpaying them. Hehe. :) See? It is that good, comes highly recommended from me.
