Haunting Tale

Urban legend and personal narrative come together in “Fragrance” (or “Wangian”),, a monologue inspired by  the murder of a young woman and the hauntings along the Vale of Tempe in Penang. We speak with the show’s playwright/director Noor Rizuwan and performer Darynn Wee about how facts, anecdotes, and myths mingle in the show to uncover what might be behind these events.
