Mark Beau de Silva presents his first full Hokkien play set in Kulim, Kedah, about 2 young boys; Tuah Thou(Big Head) and Potato Head(Huan Chu Thou) and their adventures in front of their mother’s rock garden(taman batu). They want to make a replica of Singapore because their rich Aunty Sien from Singapore is coming back and they want her to feel at home. So, using rocks, dead plants and other dead things, the boys copy the giant statues of flowers and birds that are erected by the gomen at the Penang Community Garden. Their mother; Mama, played by Wei Jun in high heels and shoulder pads is not very happy with this because she thinks the children are more excited over her sister’s coming than her cooking and discipline. She too has a plan of her own, and she enlists the help of her neighborhood sweetheart; Ah Huat, the 4-ekor man(4-D).

As the 2 children and the 2 adults fantasize and agonize the coming of the elusive Aunty Sien, they forget, the train is already coming…Aunty Sien might actually be knocking at the door any moment and the house is still like s***!

Who is this woman standing in the shadow by the door. Is Aunty Sien really like that?

Big Head and Potato Head is a fast paced comedy with a heart, but a very prickly one. It is created, and acted by Hokkiens!
