The third batch of graduating students from the Department of Performance + Media, Sunway University College is pleased to present Kuo Pao Kun's Lao Jiu – The Ninth Born, one of the Singaporean playwright's most loved plays.

Chee Sek Thim (director of the critically-acclaimed That Was The Year) directs 11 student-performers in a theatre production that will include puppetry and original music.

"Lao Jiu" refers to the nickname of the ninth-born child and only son of the Chng family. Lao Jiu is the darling of his family not only because he is the long-awaited youngest son, but also for his natural endowments of intelligence and obedience. It was foretold that this brilliant young man would achieve great success in life. Now on the brink of winning a prestigious scholarship that will ensure a glorious career, Lao Jiu finds himself more fascinated by the dying art of puppetry and yearns to be a student of Shifu, his father's closest friend. Torn between reality and dreams, modernity and tradition, he is determined to find his destiny.
