AIR CON tells the story of a murder of a sex worker outside an elite boy school in Kedah which bursts the comfort bubble of the main characters as they discover a world of bullying, sex crimes, and violence.

When it was staged in 2009, the coming of age play was well-received by audience members who felt the play explored the treacherous path of male adolescence and the painful expectations of society expecting boys to be men.
