:: 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!
