Following The Actors Studio Foundation’s sold out season opener, Christopher Ling (Best Director, BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2012 & 2023) is set to direct “Perhiasan Kaca”, a Bahasa Malaysia translation of Tennessee Williams’ “The Glass Menagerie” by Marlenny Deenerwan. It was the very play that catapulted Williams to fame and went on to win Best American Play (New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards). This semi-autobiographical masterpiece centres on a family of three – a mother who lives in the past, a shy daughter fixated on her glass animals and a son who dreams of becoming a poet. Though desperate for a better future, each escapes into their own personal “glass menagerie” to elude their own pain. Will they be able to break free? Kembali Ke Pangkuan Season Overview Kembali Ke Pangkuan opens with the season teaser, Saccharine, followed by the season highlight Perhiasan Kaca, a Malay adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ beloved classic The Glass Menagerie. It closes with the experimental Trilogi Bulan featuring 3 specially-commissioned BM plays by Yusof Bakar.
Established in 2021, The Actors Studio Foundation is excited to present its maiden season entitled Kembali Ke Pangkuan, curated and helmed by The Actors Studio’s new Associate Artistic Director Christopher Ling in honour of his 35-year relationship with The Actors Studio and its Co-Founders, Joe & Faridah.
