Poetry Comes to Life!
The Road Not Taken
an original play in poetry
KUALA LUMPUR, 26th July 2010- The Actors Studio will be bringing poetry to life in a play form. Poetry will no longer be a still listening party as The Road Not Taken will be reinventing poetry using songs, dances and etc.
The Road Not Taken “does not wish to preach, does not wish to shove, we just wish for you to listen and sit on a birch, and not fly away like a shy dove”. This original play in poetry bridges the gap between poetry and the new generation by turning poems into a story with contemporary settings and themes young adults can easily relate to.
It tells the story of a family of four…..A husband that travels all over the world, a wife that loves him a lot, a daughter that's passionate & independent and a boyfriend who captures her heart.
The Road Not Taken is written, devised and performed by Ayunni Ayub, Sally Ann, Bill Curtis, Adlan Ramly and Syafiq using well known and original poems.
Bill Curtis
Bill has been a poet it seems most of his life.
Always on the lookout for word play,
he annoyed his sister and most of his peers.
He then set out on the solo road
to weave his words.
He now co-directs alt.
Adlan Ramly
A playwright, songwriter, director, singer and actor. Currently pursuing his Master on Arts in English Literature specializing in Epic Theatre in Universiti Malaya (UM), Mohd Adlan Ramly is an avid dramatist and theater lover for almost 10 years. He has written a number of plays which includes "Dielle: The Musical" that was staged in MTC (Malaysian Tourism Centre) in 2007 and "Whoa! Willow!!", also a musical, that was staged twice, in 2008 at Panggung Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur and in 2010 at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall Auditorium. In all these projects he has directed, acted, and wrote the music. Now Adlan is taking poetry into his platter with The Road Not Taken and is eager to debut his poetic skills both in writing and performing. He has quite a number of projects up his sleeve that will hit the theater scene soon!
Sally Ann
Sally is very passionate about the arts and loves acting, writing, singing, dancing and
reading. At the age of 17, she joined Joe Hasham's Acting for Beginners' 2008 Class. In
the following year, she made an appearance in HAMLET, ROSENCRANTZ AND

Designer respectively.
Ayunni Ayub
Ayunni is a theatre coordinator at The Actors Studio @ Lot 10 whose first foray into theatre acting was for 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' at university. 24 hours theatre by Masakini Theatre then jump started her love of acting while she was in the corporate world. Jumping headlong into T4YP 2009 she embarked on a delightful journey with her fellow ensemble, performing for 100 Words Project, What Does It Means To Be Free, Hamlet & Brand Spanking New. The Road Not Taken is her first poetic debut & she's nervous & excited at the same time!
