Children of this Land amplifies and solidifies Noordin Hassan's (the author) unique form and blend of modern Malay theatre. This "play within a play" portrays a wide panorama of multinational characters that exemplifies the good and the bad, the traitor and the nationalist, the selfish and the sacrificing. The characters include Malays, Chinese, English and Japanese, thus stressing the fact that Malaysia is a multiracial nation.
Children of this Land is indeed a sophisticated work full of multilevelled possibilities and varied interpretations.
