Body Text

A young handsome king meets a beautiful mysterious young woman. They instantly fall in love. However, she agrees to marry him only if he asks no questions - about her history. After much merry-making, they have a child. When he is pressed by 'society', he has no choice but to question her. Snap. Double snap. And she's gone. 

Divine Soap presents the story of a Bangsawan, as it was told in the past. It also sheds light on the trials and tribulations faced by these troupes as they struggle to hang on to their traditions while keeping with the times. 

With a buffet of elaborate costumes, 'special efx', painted 2 dimensional backdrops, stock comic characters, dance, music and fight sequences, there's plenty to savour and delight in.

Get clean. Get cleansed. Soap has never been so divine.
