;
Kandawgyi Park Compound, Mingalar Taung Nyunt; dinner
& show K20,000; 6-9pm)
Although the buffet meal served here is universally slated, the
stage inside this concrete replica of a Burmese royal barge is one of the few places in Yan-
gon where you can watch a cultural show of traditional dance and puppetry.
National Theatre
THEATRE
(Myoma Kyaung Rd, Dagon)
Opened in 1991, the National Theatre is a boxy modern struc-
ture, which little reflects traditional Burmese architecture. That said, the venue is increas-
ingly being put to good use for a variety of shows.
