An intimate production, a love letter to Singapore theatre, performed by one of the finest actors of the generation. An Actress Prepares is inspired by Konstantin Stanislavski’s first handbook on acting, following Siti Khalijah Zainal, on a journey through her life in theatre.
She candidly share various affecting and hilarious episodes: learning Chinese dance in primary school. falling in with the cool girls at the Bedok Institute of Technical Education, and being told that she might be ‘too big’ or ‘too Malay’ to get roles.
This is Siti as you’ve never seen her before – raw, vulnerable and achingly honest. In An Actress Prepares, Siti tackles the most difficult thing she has ever had to do as an actor: playing herself on stage.
