Ang Tau Mui is the nickname of a failed actress-turned-public-toilet-cleaner who grew up in the 1960s in Malacca town, whose childhood idol was the tragic Hong Kong movie star Lin Dai. It is about the last day of a woman’s life where she goes shopping, desperately searching something to buy from among the “millions of things for sale”.

The text for this audio production is extracted from A Modern Woman Called Ang Tau Mui, written by Leow Puay Tin, first staged in Kuala Lumpur and Adelaide in 1994, with the playwright in the title role.

Conceptualised and directed by Tung Jit Yang
Performed by Takahara Suiko
Music composed and performed by Takahara Suiko (‘Oi, Oi, Ang Tau Mui!’ and ‘People say life is like a dream’)
