This may be the toughest role that theatre/film actor Iedil Dzhurie Alaudin has ever played. For this one-man show, the 36-year-old plays a home baker.

Only, this is not a play or a film. For Iedil, baking and selling cookies under his home-based online business called Munchy Chewy is his newfound reality.
