This theatrical masterpiece, which has garnered resounding acclaim from teachers, students, and the wider community, stirred the depths of our souls and resonated deeply with our shared experiences about secondary school.

The afternoon began with eager anticipation as we gathered for a pre-show dialogue with the acclaimed director, Huzir Sulaiman, whose insights illuminated the narrative's nuances, thematic richness and a peek behind the curtain about staging a theatrical production. As the curtains rose and the melodies filled the air, we were transported into a world where the struggles and triumphs of adolescence unfolded before our eyes.
