Preface
Alvin Tan

All the plays emerged from a rigorous three-phase process with substantial intervals in between the phases for ideas to brew. Phase 1 is marked by field work and improvisations. We would interview doctors, lawyers, hospice supervisors, care-givers, ex-political detainees and anyone who could share experiences related to the themes and issues. We would then create characters with the actors and develop them through improvisations.
