1. The first of its kind in Malaysia, lead character Joseph's story is brought to life in a unique 19th-century steampunk setting
Stage props are intricately handcrafted with wood carvings and remodelled plastics, while each costume is decked out with metal bits and bobs for a touch of the 'Victorian with an attitude' experience.
2. The cast and crew are made up of an all-volunteer team from all ages and walks of life. In fact, for many of them, this is their first time getting involved in a play production... and even performing onstage!
The Actspressions production team may be made up of members from different ages (11 to 55 years old), but they are brought together and driven by their passion for live arts and theatre.
While some are familiar with the world of theatre, many are doing this for the first time. Some of the cast members have never had any acting experience on the public stage but have managed to work hard and bring out their character in less than the usual time it takes to put something like this together!
3. This homegrown production is 100% original, including the music score, a brand new theme song, and a screenplay that's an age-appropriate blend of comedy and drama
The Tailor Made Man is an original screenplay based on the life of Joseph in biblical history - a young man who encounters great challenges in his journey to fulfilling an impossible dream. It's a simple yet heartwarming story filled with comedy, drama and many moments that an audience from all walks of life can relate to, with meaningful takeaways for both kids and adults.
Pro tip for parents: Bring along your kids (aged 7 and up) and invite some friends along for the ride!
4. It's an award-winning play, having won the Audience Choice Award and being nominated for Best Costume at the 11th BOH Cameronian Arts Awards in 2013
5. If you've seen the first edition, the play's return to the live stage still has plenty to offer. Not only is there an all-new cast leading the pack, there's going to be significant upgrades to onstage visuals too! Check out the leading characters' new looks:
