Grand Show "Maneechan" 18:30 - (doors open 18:00) @Millennium Hall
"Maneechan" is a stage play adapted from the Thai historical novel 'Thaviphob'. Maneechan is a story of a woman who slips back into Thailand's olden days (Siam era) through a mirror. Under the pressure of defensive warfare of that era, she plays an important part in easing the conflict. At the same time, she also encounters many Thai customs that are rarely seen in the modern era, and she starts to feel more affection for the people of the Siam era, including Luang Akarathep Warakorn, the hand of the king of Siam.
