Director's Workshop

Please go along to support this event. I heard that last week's performance of Fahmi's play (which was performed in Sekseng's kitchen!) was absolutely excellent, and I was sad that I didn't have a chance to attend because of too many other things. Hope I can make it for this.

Three Uncertain Histories

An exploration of both Chinese opera as well as the CPM,
Three Uncertain Histories presents the not-always-reliable
memories of the emergency as told by three different
characters struggling to negotiate the dilemmas of the
conflict: a female guerilla who takes an offering to a
temple before she joins the communists in the jungle, a
failed Chinese opera actor who hears rumors of killings and
torture, and a police interrogator who engages in a
dialogue with his prisoner.

Hmmm ... talking about Marion D'Cruz, met her at a British Council reception the other night and she is over the moon about Tash Aw's success because she used to be his teacher! So of course lah, she deserves all the credit for his novel and a share of the royalties.
