As he inches ever closer to the inevitable, he reaches out to his long-estranged daughter in a last-ditch effort to reconnect, only to be confronted with the choices he had made in his past.Directed by Christopher Ling, The Actor Studio Seni Teater Rakyat proudly presents Samuel D. Hunter’s critically acclaimed masterpiece, ‘The Whale’. Originally staged in 2012, ‘The Whale’ was adapted by Darren Aronofsky into the film of the same name in 2022 and earned two Oscars at the 95th Academy Awards in 2023, including one for Best Actor by Brendan Fraser for his portrayal as Charlie. ‘The Whale’ is a stark but intimate exploration of faith, redemption, and the ever-ubiquitous human need for connection.
