'Janji' at Taman Budaya, Alor Star.


Night out at the theatre tonight. Not often you can do that in Alor Star. The play is called 'Janji'. The place is cosy and comfortable with a rather smallish stage, however the play itself is rather unmemorable, too slow moving at times and the dialogue predictable and soft. Lost Prince meets princess kind of story and they got married in the end. I must say I didn't do justice to the effort that the people involved put in but I did not really enjoyed it, perhaps I was expecting too much or that I am not the theatrical type. If I have to give credit, it is to all the performers who perform flawlessly, no embarrassing moments at all. They made use of all the space on stage and more, some scenes have the performers running up and down the aisles, one big guy even walked across a row of seats, right in front of me, going after his lover! I was a sort of invited to see the show so got a free pass. Would I recommend anyone to see the play? Well only if you got a free pass, otherwise go spend your money elsewhere. Sorry.
