Giveaway! ITheatre's Magic Paintbrush!

Improvised from the well-known Chinese folk tale, The Magic Paintbrush concludes I Theatre's line-up for 2016 after an impressive line up of plays such as The Rainbow Fish, The Boy who Cried Wolf, etc.



:: The Story 

Like many youngsters, Toni Lee, from present-day Singapore, struggles with the pressure and stress of schoolwork and parental expectations. With an accidental wish, Toni quite unexpectedly meets a Magical Paintbrush, and is transported back in time to a Southern Province of China, where Toni becomes Ma Liang 马良. In a series of magical adventures, Ma Liang’s story unfolds.

Meet the tuneful Phoenix who guides and helps Ma Liang with his quest. Watch out for the comical Palace Guards, Sotong and Shrimp, as they try to capture Ma Liang for the cruel, greedy Emperor and his wicked schemes!


Through the fun and laughter, a clear and strong moral message about the value of creativity, friendship, and the dangers of using, or abusing power is presented in this magical, musical family show. 


:: The Book
A unique feature of this production is that (maybe for the first time in Singapore) a brand new picture book was launched in conjunction with the first production of the play. Dumpling had the chance to read this book some years back and liked it very much!

Written by the playwright, Brian Seward, and illustrated by Francis Chua, The Magic Paintbrush was published by international publishers Marshall Cavendish International (Asia). Aimed at the Primary school audience, this beautifully illustrated colour picture book contains all the characters and the storyline from the play, and develops some story elements further in a way that the play could not.

I am pleased to share that I have 3 pairs of 2 tickets to this classic tale to give away!

  1. I love The Ten Brothers or 十兄弟。 All 10 of them have their unique power which they used to helped others. Most importantly they are so filial towards their parents and their siblings bond is so strong; something that we are seeing lesser now.

  2. I love the story of Tikki Tikki Tembo which means "the most wonderful thing in the world" and how history was changed while he fell into a well and was saved by an old man while it was tough trying to pronounce his long name.

    A good story to teach the boys to share and respect each other. Hopefully they will not fight over things everyday.

  7. 花木兰
    Hua Mulan is a symbol of bravery and honor. Mulan could fight like a man, but weave and embroider like a woman. She didn't go to war to prove herself - she did it out of filial duty, and because her country needed her.
