Teater Tun Siti Hasmah is a Malaysian play directed by Erma Fatima and starring Lisa Surihani, Eja, Nazim Othman and Esma Danial.[1] It depicts the life of Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, wife of Malaysian prime minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad,[1] concentrating largely on her role as a doctor and medical officer in her youth before becoming Malaysia's first lady.[2] The play was produced in November 2012 at the Istana Budaya,[1] Malaysia's "Palace of Culture" and main theatrical venue.
The production was originally slated for August 2012 but was faced with a series of challenges, including the withdrawal of the original director and several lead actors due to other contractual obligations.[3]
Tun Siti Hasmah was in attendance at the opening night of the production and complimented the director afterwards on a "job well done".[4]
