Corporal PUNishment for the puny ones in KLPAC!

Ok, failed attempt at punning just now. Still a good try, no? (Please say yes!) Though, puns and jokes aside, I was glad 11th April 2012 was public holiday, solely because I don't need to worry not being able to make it for Corporal PUNishment, KLPAC's latest production.

Imagine living in a world that having fun is a cardinal sin, a crime punishable by law and an act condemned by.. ALL!!! So, what happens is a guy, aptly named TL(trust me if you will, his name has a few uses and contributes to some puns in the play), found a way to change that world, when his friend, KC bring news of PUN-dora box to him.

So, you get to see 'the odds against them', how ssssseductive snakes can be and the Forbidden fruit of the play! XD, just so you know, those are some parts of the play, still not the whole thing! Some photos below to put the play into perspective( I tried a pun! XD)

From left to right : The cat(no, your eyes weren't playing tricks, its a guy), TL, girlfriend and FC

 A journey to PUN-dora's box!

 PUN-dora's box!!! Finally!

 Some serious epic gay moments! Yaoi-fans might like this part(and the number six just got a whole new meaning)

 This is the part I like the best : Engaging and involving the audience!!!

 Who the hell is this?

Is this the end? But doesn't look so? What do you think?

Besides their journey, one really captivating aspect of the play was the soundtrack. The team pieced together varying pieces of music which worked wonders for the whole play. I myself tapped my feet to the music, especially when *drum rollls...... The main theme of Pirates of Carribean came up! Can you feel the pounding? Can you feel the excitement and adventure yet?

But, this play made me think, puns can be a good form of humour, but what happens if it is the only form of humour? What will happen to humour in the form of silly-ness? Or, in the form of being.. captain obvious and the likes?  

So, a final word before the curtain closes, Corporal PUNishment will run from 11 April to 15 April in KLPAC, 8.38pm for all days and only 3.33pm on Sunday(15 April), alternatively, if KLPAC is too far, do drop by at PenangPAC from 2 May to 6 May, with the same timings as above including 3.33pm on 6 May.
Tickets are priced at RM 33 for basically everyone unless you are a student, less-abled and a TAS card holder, which will then cost you RM23 per ticket. Preview nights aka 2 May 2011 is RM 23 flat-rate for PenangPAC audience!

Remember the fun and to pun!!
