Ridhwan Saidi

Ridhwan Saidi is a Malaysian novelist, playwright, leftfield theatremaker and filmmaker.

Teater Modular is his series of short plays consisting of 13 offbeat playlets, whilst Teater Normcore is his series of full length plays, both with the intent to illuminate poetry and heighten appreciation towards deadpan humour.
