On 9 of March 2009, I went with my friend to Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre to watch the play, “The secret love life of Ophelia”. It was my first time went to KL PAC (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) as well as the first time I watch theatre. The place was so beautiful. It was decorated with artistic pictures and the scenery there was so breathtaking. We took a lot of photos. (hehe..)
The play was carried out at Pentas 2. I was so surprised of the way the stage look like. (In my experience, the stage is usually higher than the audience seats.) It was so small and was surrounded by the audience seats. There was only sofa, small tables and floor mat. It gives the audience a sense of closeness. It provides an opportunity for the audience to watch clearer.
I found that the actor and actress are very good in acting. They can act without the acting tools! For instant, the actor who acts the character of Oedipus can act the action of making a cup of coffee so lively! The action of stirring, putting sugar into the coffee seems so real.
However, I do not find that the story is interesting for me. I dislike the actors like keep on talking. There seems like no climax. It is so dull and bored for me. Besides, the play is actually does not follow the original story of Hamlet. This play was just totally about story of love. The main characters use email to express their love towards each other.
Anyway, it is a good experience for me to watch the play. It helps me to gain new knowledge of theatre.
