Sepanjang Hayat marked Penang-based director and producer Fa Abdul’s debut in Malay-language theatre. The intimate production ran for four sold-out performances over a weekend in October at Jetty 35, Weld Quay, with English surtitles on three nights.
The play follows a father who preaches compassion but disowns his son for marrying a Chinese woman, a mother caught between her husband and the son she misses, and siblings trapped between loyalty and their parents’ expectations.
