THE CAST

OMAR ALI

Trained in advertising, Omar stumbled into theatre by chance, and decided to stay. Formerly a resident director at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac), Omar is also an actor, set designer, and teacher. As a writer, his specific focus is in Translation and Adaptation. Alongside his late father, Allahyarham Muhammad Ali Hashim, Omar took English classics, translated them into Malay, and adapted them to the Malaysian sociopolitical context. They are best known for ‘Dato’ Seri’ (Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’), and the award-winning ‘KANDANG’ (George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’). Omar’s current focus is on teaching, training, and development – as well as proper Mexican grub.
