Dua, tiga dalang berlari

This excellent play by Mark Teh, performed by Fahmi Fadzil, Wong Tay Sy and Lim Chung Wei, looks at the history of two dalangs post-57, and by inference the history of the National Cultural Policy. It is a sympathetic look at what both dalangs lost in their individual ways of dealing with political change, slightly subtly directing attention to the changes in interpretation of Islam, the problems of mixing state and religion, and the unifying factor among all our politicians, the will to power.
