Review of Theater JALAN MATI



              This is the senior’s final year project (FYP) and it called “Jalan Mati” .The director was MAZLAN MAT RAZi . I watched this show on first day which was 10 April 2015. It was a rainy day. The show was held in Panggung Sasaran. The place was okay but I think they were lack of people to be F.O.H. This is because they applied mycsd for the show, but when i went to the counter to write my name on the mycsd form , there was no one to take care of the counter .So, it means that anybody can just come and write the name to get mycsd and just walk away. And this may make some students come for just mycsd but not the show. Also , the instruction from F.O.H was not clear .For example ,it was raining but they did not tell the audiences where to put their umbrella and their shoes. The time of the show started was not punctual.
                  The actor Ed Kota who acted as doctor Lokman was quite good in acting because he was able to make the audiences laugh and concentrate while the mood of the theater was down while for another actor Tiow 'Ajis' Lampoyan Isaac who acted as Azam , his acting was not as good as Ed Kota but he showed his characteristic as audiences know that he was a person who was young , innocent and nervous .And he was good because he needed to stay the cold as he woke up from a bathtub which full of water. For the actor Myra who acted as the dead body .She was not easy because she needed to lie there for hours and the stage was cold. But she was professional because she did not even move any part of her body. And at the end of the scene , her face expression was very nice and people can feel her revenge , her angry and her sadness.
            The lighting was nice because when the actor monolog ,the light will concentrated on the actor only , so that the audiences will just concentrate on him and heard what he said. The timing of the lighting was very important when Dr Lokman switch off and on the light. And the light will change while the mood of the theatre changed and it was nice .  The audio was less because this type of theatre does not suit to have a lot of music but the last sound track was nice because it increased nervous mood .
