A brand new show by Cake Theatrical Productions that takes a comically crazy look at the once-comatose artform known
as Bangsawan. This original play will tell stories from the past with a generous dash of humour from the present.
A young handsome king meets a beautiful mysterious young woman. They instantly fall in love. However, she agrees to
marry him only if he asks no questions – about her history. After much merry-making, they have a child. When he is
pressed by ‘society’, he has no choice but to question her. Snap. Double snap. And she’s gone.
Divine Soap presents the story of a Bangsawan, as it was told in the past. It also sheds light on the trials and tribulations
faced by these troupes as they struggle to hang on to their traditions while keeping with the times.
With a buffet of elaborate costumes, ‘special efx’, painted 2-D backdrops, stock comic characters, dance, music and fight
sequences, there’s plenty to savour and delight in.
Get clean. Get cleansed. Soap has never been so divine.
