Synopsis

Embark on a courageous journey alongside Hang Tuah, the loyal servant of the Sultan of Melaka, as he ventures to retrieve the Sultan's lost crown from the treacherous waters of the Straits of Singapore. Legend has it that these waters were infested with man-eating crocodiles! Will Hang Tuah succeed in his mission?

 

This local folktale serves as a rich educational experience for children, imparting lessons on bravery, loyalty, and quick thinking, while igniting a sense of courage for their own adventures. Additionally, children will have the opportunity to craft their own paper keris to take home with them, further enhancing their engagement with the story.

 

This programme is presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay in collaboration with Malay Heritage Centre.
