Chacko Vadaketh

I will be directing a short play entitled COFFEE SHOP and acting in another piece entitled AS THE BELL RINGS in exciting festival of short plays: SHORT + SWEET at KLPAC 6 to 17 August. do check out  www.klpac.com, www.shortandsweet.org/malaysia for full details.

It has been exciting to be directing for a change and also to see so many fresh new plays and fresh new actors working alongside more jaded old hams like me! I got to adapt Cofffee Shop which was originally set in Dublin, to be work in Kuala Lumpur. It has some interesting ideas and themes, about migrant workers about class and economic divisions as well as just loneliness and the search for love. As The Bell Rings is a fun little piece about two boys getting caught playing truant at the shopping mall by their Headmaster.
