Date nite w Titoudao, originally uploaded by ailingnjames.

We went to watch local production “Titoudao” last nite at Drama Center @ the National Library.

I was REALLY impressed with the level of commitment and dedication our local artists have. Most of them don’t even speak dialect BUT most of the play was in serious WAYANG style plus lotsa of dialect (and i don’t mean just bad words). One of them was a Malay! It’s been awhile since we’ve been to a full play (last one was Broadway beng last Jan/Feb!). I used to go more when I was in JC/Uni. It amazes me that Karen Tan is still in the scene! Ten years ago when the art scene wasn’t this great, i think most would have given up. But i guess those who hung on are seeing the fruits of their labour.

RESPECT to our local artists. (This also to Royston Tan whom we caught a glimspe of last nite. Few of us were watching 4:30 at our place last Sat and it was really good.)

Go watch Titoudao! I’ll rather pay good money to watch this and buy the programme booklet THAN Borat.

P/s in case you are wondering how James n I made it through without subtitles? THERE WERE SUBTITLES. But we were sitting on the third row and almost missed seeing the subtitles on the TOP!
