Huzir Sulaiman’s virtuosic use of language and impeccable craft have cemented him as one of Southeast Asia’s preeminent playwrights and leading dramatists.

From the classic satire Atomic Jaya to the award-winning The Weight of Silk on Skin, this comprehensive collection offers readers an opportunity to acquaint themselves with an impressive body of work that has lit up the stage over the past two decades.
