Oedipus the King- D day

Well, I won't type much so I'm going to put pictures up instead. These pictures are from Esther's, Afiq's and Joanne's camera. Thanks a bunch =)

Before I start the picture, let me introduce the great chorus--> US!!!!
(Our cloak cool right?? Thanks a lot costume people!!)


After much rehearsals, it was time to start. Before that we wore our cloak and walked around the library then we had dinner (a piece of bread and DIY coffee/ tea/ milk/ milo) so I had 3 spoons of coffee + 3 spoons of sugar + 1.5 spoons of milk + 1 huge mountain of milo and half cup of hot water. This concentrated saturated drink allowed me to stay awake until 3am!!


Before the real thing, we took a quite a lot of pictures at the back stage.
Everyone in with Tan Sri Abu Bakar (ex director general of health and current president of IMU) and our literature lecturer Ms. Sheeba

We were meant to be serious but look at the funny faces LOL



I forgot what we were doing =P

Make up on =)

King Laius. If not for him raping Prince Chrysipus, we wont be here with this production LOL!!!
(King Laius raped his student Chrysipus hence got cursed that he'll be killed by his son and the son- Oedipus will marry his wife)

The 3 gals - oracle, blind prophet and Jocasta (at the back is Afiq, our prop master who is so great for coming up with all the props!!)

The other cast + make up people


Drama began
We chorus walked into the pitch dark auditorium with just candle lights (cool effect!!)

The candle dance that Esther, Teck Han, Cheryl and I came up with

The 2 main cast- Oedipus and Jocasta (son turn husband + mother turn wife)

King Oedipus and his brother in law Creon

The Sphinx who guards the gate to Thebes. She'll eat up those who wanna pass the gate of Thebes but can't answer her riddle

INSERT- On Sunday, we had to sing and record the 3 songs that we were dancing to

The 5 shy gals with their dance about the murderer

The dance by us 5 not shy gals dancing to praise the Gods

5 guys who were dancing to express their feelings about the plague

The ending where we describe what fate is all about


After production
Yeah!!! Selective is over!!!!

Last picture together on stage

The surprise for us from Ms.Sheeba- the cake

Teck Han- the genius behind chorus who came up with the lyrics and words
