Kuala Lumpur, 1988. While investigating a devastating act of constitutional violence, American lawyer Juliet Elms Morton discovers a world of dazzling beauty, rich pageantry and sacred ritual, forcing her to review her beliefs about Islam, faith, justice, and the circumstances surrounding her father’s brutal murder. Coup d’Etat is at once a political thriller, a brilliant examination of cultural differences, and an indelible, portrait of an extraordinarily diverse nation.  Written by Justin Fleming, directed by Suzanne Millar, cast: Cat Martin, Renee Lim, Felino Dolloso, Shingo Usami and Don Sword.  Riverside Theatres , Parramatta Nov 8-14 and Parade Playhouse at NIDA Nov 15-19.
