fiftynineminutes


“Two friends discover faith, direction and 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
- fiftynineminutes original shorts and monologues by The Oral Stage

When September 28th - October 1st 2006 @ 8.30 pm

Where The Dram Projects, BG06 Happy Mansion Apartments, Jalan 17/13 46400 PJ

Tickets RM10

Ticket contact Louisa Low @ 0163757833

Some, few words was said.But the audience can feel thier character and emotions intended. For some, lots was said, and it made the audience sit at the edge of thier chair with anticipatioin and eagerness for more. I've got to say, its a real inspiration to see this bunch of passionate young people getting together to produce such an amazine production. Bravo and claps for Kelvin Wong, Reuban Kang, Wai Yee, Johann Lim, Patricia Low, Marvin Wong, Krystle, Doreen, Vinolan, Christine and others. You guys are Amazing!!!
My favourite are "The world's smellist durian"!Acted by Johann Lim, beautifully written by Patricia Low and directed by Kelvin Wong. It was a humours, meaningful, sacarstic piece which deserves a theater award.
I liked the "showers of flowers", they made it so real that i almost felt sorry for the deaf girl. While "Fruitcake "almost bring tears into my eyes. "Track" reminds me on how painfull and frustrating to have one sided love. It shows how hard it is to make another person to love you and stay with you.
This is a must watch theater!For those kiasu, claculative chinamen, you can put down your calculator because the entrance fee is only RM10.00 ONLY!!!I can guarantee that it is worth your every single sen. So if you are in KL/PJ, do not and i stress DO NOT miss this opportunity to catch "FIFTYNINEMUNITES"!

Thanks very much for coming and supporting The Oral Stage, and thanks for the review!

Glad you enjoyed my piece, Pat (the writer) is quite the comedian and she doesn't even know it.
