SYBIL COMES TO TOWN


The Actors Studio presents Sukania Venugopal as SYBIL.

A play in 2 acts based on the book ‘No Dram of Mercy’ by Sybil Kathigesu.

With Doppo Narita as Yoshimura. Adapted by U-En Ng

Directed by Dato’ Faridah Merican

Artistic Director Joe Hasham

Sybil, her husband, and the Captain (her Resistance contact) listen one evening to devastating news of British defeat throughout the peninsula. Suspicion is rife, Japanese collaborators are present in every town, and the feared Kempetai—the Japanese Military Police that is answerable only to itself—is beginning to take an interest in the small town. Sybil, however, refuses the Captain’s advice to flee to the jungle, and instead redoubles her efforts to thwart the Japanese. Before long, Dr Kathigasu is arrested on suspicion of aiding the resistance, and Sybil’s arrest follows soon after.

The story of a national hero, never before told in the form of performing arts! Sybil…
