Peti Kayu Ibuku is a tale of a daughter's love-hate relationship with her stepmother. A one-woman play, Peti Kayu Ibuku takes us on a journey of a woman's suffering at the hands of a woman she calls “mother” during her growing years, to their reconciliation at the time of her death. The play is the Malay version of Kuo Pao Kun's English version (which is a translation of the Mandarin original by Ng Xin Yue)

this is my first time to a live drama play.
i arrived there 6.45pm too EARLY!
so i went to the library to grab some books while waiting.
it is a malay play with english subtitles.*not trying to be bias*
She memorised the whole script.
*including one thing, im not sure if she got forgot her lines anot?*
She is the only Actress throughout the play.
She acted several roles.
i quite touched in the middle of the story.
especially she self-expression it out her own inner feeling.
sounds like a True Story.
anyway, this play is translated from the original mandarin play by Ng Sin Yue.
i had a few bad comments on it.
firstly, it is held in The Necessary Stage Black Box, a small stage with limit seats.
and throughout the whole play, my neck keep looking up at subtitles!
didnt have much time looking down at the actress.
because once i look at the actress i'll missed the subtitles.
and i'm fucking angry with the subtitles!
i didnt even read finished the subtitles.
It was replaced by another !
long subtitles screen less than 2 seconds!
short subtitles screen more than 5 seconds!
As she speak faster, the subtitles is being fast forward!!!!!
not even got the chance to read at all.
BENEFITS all the malays!~
& some parts was quite laughable.
i read the subtitles i don't find it funny at all.
Overall, i just don't understand the ending part.
From today onwards, i am a baby-sitter, my niece.
& so on the days.
goodness! my legs is breaking walking with her nearby my house.
& homeworks is like countless and have not complete.
P.S: Do Not Ask Me Out!
Thank you.
