This exciting reimagining of a Malaysian classic directed by Joe Hasham OAM and written by U-En Ng is set to premiere on Malaysia Day. Set in a post-apocalyptic Malaysia where constant war and strife abound, the story follows the life and tragic death of JEBAT. It unfolds the plight of Hang Tuah’s loyalty to his king as opposed to Jebat’s desire for freedom, love and respect.
While there are many stories on Hang Tuah, this is likely the first English language stage production in recent history focusing on JEBAT. The Actors Studio’s biggest production for 2023 boasts almost 40 performers on stage performing to specially composed live music with a mix of silat and mixed martial arts battle scenes, amazing sets and costumes, multimedia design and more.
