It has been a while since I last watched local productions. So when Lee Wei asked if I wanna watch this production, I jumped at once! And no regrets!
In my opinion, a good production is one that is able to pull your soul into the storyline. While watching the production tonight, I was drawn to tears for several scenes. Since I was seated quite far back (and couldn’t really see the expressions on the actors’ faces), it must be the plot (and of course the vocal expressions of the acting crew!) that drew me. I guess it is also partly because I could relate to some of those scenes.. They brought back memories. :'(
Those songs that were used, were mostly what I’d heard before. Imagine singing along during the production. heehee 😀
I might just watch it again in the next re-run!
Oh by the way, I saw 梁文福老师 up close! But was too shy to take a photo with him. *little fan girl scream*

Sharing a poem that was used in the production. Thought it’s interesting to share 🙂

Anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn’t he danced his did
Women and men (both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn’t they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain
children guessed (but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more
when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone’s any was all to her
someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then) they
said their nevers they slept their dream
stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)
one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was
all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
wish by spirit and if by yes.
Women and men (both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain
