Being a young person is never easy. The adolescent years are supposed to be a time of self-discovery, of trading the innocence of childhood for the responsibility of adulthood. Without proper guidance, however, it can be a very scary age to be.

Still Taming and S’kolah, a double bill of newly devised Malaysian plays, takes us back through the ups and downs of youth, and the difficulties of growing up. Directed by Mark Beau de Silva, The Actors Studio’s resident director/actor, and Ho Lee Ching, actor-in-residence, the production is a captivating exploration of themes that will resonate with Malaysians.
