Sultan Bolkiah's Love Story

Dear blog,

29th June 2012 - Friday
venue - Empire Theatre 

Finally, i got the chance to watch a musical cultural drama called Tragedi (tragedy) performed by a local talented group called "Lively Dancers". This heartbreaking love story was based on a legendary love story back in 16th century between Sultan Bolkiah and Princess Laila Menchanai that ended in a devastating incident. On the journey back to Brunei, Sultan Bolkiah died after the beautiful princess accidentally pricked his finger with a golden needle while sewing. Overwhelmed by sadness, she committed suicide and left with a will, the wish to be buried with the sultan. It was a good show indeed ! The sad ending had made me burst into tears !
