SYNOPSIS
Synopsis
First staged in 1993 to critical acclaim, Off Centre is recognised as a landmark play in the history of Singapore theatre, best remembered for bringing mental illness and its' patients' plight to the attention of the media and general public in Singapore.
The play traces the friendship of Saloma and Vinod and the hurdles they have to overcome, including social stigmas, prejudices and personal conflicts.
Off Centre has also been selected by the Ministry of Education as the first Singaporean play to be offered as a GCE 'O' Level literature text from 2007, and has been republished by The Necessary Stage.
