    Bangsawan Gemala Malam

    By Teater Ekamatra

    NO PRODUCTION in the history of Singapore International Festival of Arts (Sifa) has ever gotten this much love from the audience. Teater Ekamatra’s Bangsawan Gemala Malam, a Malay-language adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, had the audience in stitches for over 2 hours, and then up on their feet for the curtain call.
