Cardiff MNight 2017- FOD XIV: Raja Bersiong

Blurb
Situated in the heart of South-East Asia is Malaysia, a tropical country rich in heritage with diverse cultures. While Britain prides in traditional Robin Hood tales and the Arthurian legend, Malaysia has its own set of legendary myths that has been passed down from generations to generations, for hundreds of years.

Set in the pre-Islamic state of Kedah, Raja Bersiong is a Malay myth which fable resembles the infamous story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. This tale revolves around a good king whose dark side is unleashed with a single taste of blood. The lust for power and hunger for omnipotence veils the moral conscience he once possessed as he hunts for human blood, at the expense of his subjects. As his bloodthirsty hunger leads to the destruction of his once thriving kingdom, will he stop this curse or continue to be intoxicated by his desire for supremacy?
