“Ringgit ke Syurga & Cannot, Cannot, Cannot!” is a theatrical collaboration between Creative Stage of Ikatan Penulis Sabah and the Green Leaf Theatre House tackling the issue of drugs. For the first time ever, these two groups will be performing together while staying true to each of their artistic swag.

Ringgit ke Syurga – by (Creative Stage)
Language: Bahasa Malaysia
Genre: Theatrical
=============================================
This play centers on the lives of a father and son; Pak Hj Berahim and Saiful. Pak Haji Berahim sells Bakso for a living and was a single parent raising Saiful up. However life began to turn for the worst when Pak Hj Berahim was given the death sentence for having drugs under his possession. This incident has led to various conflicts and heartbreaking experiences which in the end metaphorically lead to the phrase “Ringgit ke Syurga; Money to Heaven”.

Cannot, Cannot, Cannot! – by (Green Leaf Theatre House)
Language : English
Genre: Contemporary Comedy Theatre
=============================================
Cannot, Cannot, Cannot! is a comical play which plays with an overblown possibility of a normal daily situation. A mother & son where merely sitting down at the bus stop waiting to be picked up at night and found an abandoned drug addict site, what could go wrong right? Well…you sure can bet that anything can happen when you put drugs into the picture.
