“On the day she died, Ang Tau Mui went shopping.”

Long Synopsis

“On the day she died, Ang Tau Mui went shopping.”

W!LD RICE presents Selena Tan (Animal Farm, I Not Stupid) as Ang Tau Mui, in Leow Puay Tin's acclaimed Malaysian play about the aspirations of a shopping mall toilet cleaner.

Single and in her 40’s, Ang Tau Mui is seen and treated as an ‘auntie’. She accepts this, but she knows herself to be ‘a modern woman’ who has worked hard for her freedoms - living, flirting and speaking her mind as she sees fit.

Hounded by security guards, hit on by seedy suitors, Ang Tau Mui’s life has none of the glamour of her idol, 1960’s Hong Kong movie superstar Lin Dai. And neither shopping therapy nor her rose-scented air freshener can offer much solace for broken dreams.

Directed by Ivan Heng, Ang Tau Mui is a humorous, bittersweet play for our spiritually-challenged times. Leave your preconceptions at the door and open your heart to this extraordinary story of one ordinary woman.
