We all know of the story about a swordfish attack in old Singapore (Singapura) which  killed hundreds.  A boy came up with a successful plan to defeat the swordfish and thereby saved the kingdom. The Sultan rewarded him by having him executed.  The playwright takes this tale and turns into a critique of society and culture.  We hear him, together with the producer and animator, tell about the staging of this old tale.
