Don’t Let Usman Awang Know 《别让乌斯曼·阿旺知道的事》

The Actors Studio and MUKA Space will be throwing the late Dato’ Dr. Usman Awang a rather peculiar 90th birthday. Seven up-and-coming theatre makers put a fresh spin to the National Laureate’s works in “Don’t Let Usman Awang Know”. It is set to open on 11 July, one day before what would be his 90th birthday, and run until 14 July as part of The Actors Studio’s 30th anniversary celebrations made possible by Yayasan Hasanah.

This multi-lingual, multi-genre tribute aims to show his work in a new light to new audiences.“Don’t Let Usman Awang Know” showcases seven short works by Easee Gan, Giant Liang, Mon Lim, Zhafir Muzani, Apple Yong, Zheng Xi Yong, and Fauzi Amirudin. Join us as we celebrate and honour this Malaysian icon and literary giant.
