The Johor Bahru Theatre and Dance Movement Association (GETARJB), in collaboration with Tourism Johor, has unveiled its theatrical production, “Mentera Dendam Megat Putera”, loosely translated as “A Revengeful Spell of Megat Putera” from 20th to 22nd November 2026.
Produced by Senjakala, this work is rooted in Malay theatre, blending dramatic elements with traditional culture and aesthetics. The production also showcases unique, authentic attire worn by Malay and Javanese dignitaries, helping to bring the story’s setting and atmosphere to life.
The production features a lead cast comprising Putera Amir, Azrul Syafiq, Nizam Yamin, Lynn Rahman, Anis, and Lea Mustaffa who will portray key characters through performances rich in emotion, conflict, and drama.
This production follows GETARJB’s notable success with the play “Dalang”, which has won the championship title at the 2026 Malaysia Theatre Festival (Southern Zone). Furthermore, the production secured four major awards: Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Scenography.
This achievement has served as a great source of motivation for the entire GETARJB team, inspiring them to continue elevating the status of theatre in Johor. They are currently preparing to represent the state at the national-level Malaysia Theatre Festival (FTM), scheduled to take place in early 2027.
In this regard, the staging of “Mentera Dendam Megat Putera” also serves as a fundraising initiative to help cover the preparation and travel costs for the Johor delegation consisting of approximately 50 individuals as they head to the festival.
Through this production, GETARJB hopes to garner support from the public, the corporate sector, government agencies, and performing arts enthusiasts to ensure that the mission of bringing Johor’s name to the national stage can be realised.
In line with Yayasan JCorp’s commitment to supporting local arts, culture, and heritage, the foundation has stepped forward as a sponsor for this play.
Running from 20th to 22nd November 2026, at 8:30 PM at Auditorium Permata Sari, RTM Johor, Johor Bahru, the ticket prices range from RM20, RM25, RM35, and RM45, depending on the seating category.
For ticket bookings and inquiries, please contact Puan Lisa at +6012-317 6768.
GETARJB welcomes the people of Johor and performing arts enthusiasts to join in supporting this production. Every ticket purchased does more than just support a performance; it also contributes to the efforts of Johor’s artists to bring the state’s name to the national stage.
