Reviews
“Alia Alkaff, as Sunitha, does a particularly realistic impression of a mother losing her temper with her teenage son, in spite of not having an actual actor to pay against, while also shining as an elderly makcik who talks too much for her own good.”

Role: Mother
Reviews
“Alia Alkaff plays her role with gusto, able to act beyond her years in grasping the physicality and voice of a middle-aged woman scarred both physically and mentally by her military past. In the flashbacks she has, Alia delivers monologues with genuine pain and joy, her voice warbling slightly as she recalls the first time she sets eyes on her son.
…
Watching Alia move across the space, at times enraged and confused at the state she finds herself in, is what holds the play together, and her believable maternal relationship with Dwayne Ng onstage is integral to the play’s final revelation becoming all the more shocking and impactful.”
