6 - 17 October 1999

directed by Krishen Jit

1999 marks the fifteenth anniversary of this extraordinary play by Stella Kon. During this time it has been performed in places as far as Scotland and Hawaii, as close as Singapore and of course here in Malaysia. It is a play that transcends barriers and leaves very few in the audience unmoved. This has been proven in over a hundred performances in which "Emily" has been played by more than six different actresses. In this re-staging of the play, Dramalab decided to retrace the roots of traditional Peranakan theatre with a few added twists and turns. So will there be a side of this steely Nynoya matriarch as yet unseen? Are there hidden facets of this play as yet untouched? Can the opulence and eventual decline of an era be portrayed within the confines of a stage? Find out. Welcome to Dramalab's production of Emily of Emerald Hill.
