Don't Forget to Remember Me

When Madam Wong begins her retirement, all she can think of is enjoying her golden years with rest and serenity, surrounded by family and friends. However, rest turns into restlessness as she starts to lose her short-term memory. Her dream of a peaceful life soon becomes a nightmare of remembering and forgetting. 

Commissioned by the Alzheimer’s Diseases Association, Don’t Forget to Remember Me is a touching and thought-provoking play that deals with the trials and tribulations of people suffering from Dementia and their struggles to come to terms with their illnesses. 

In Singapore, about 5 percent of people above 65 suffer from Dementia. It is an illness which causes brain cells to die at a faster rate than normal. This leads to failing memory, deterioration of intellectual function and personality changes.

Devising and Performance Workshop

Come November, The Necessary Stage is pleased to have Alan Lyddiard, Artistic Director of The Performance Ensemble (UK) assisted by Singaporean writer Chng Suan Tze, to conduct a workshop on devising and performance. 

The five-day workshop explores the idea that we all have stories to tell and that other people’s personal stories are important for us to hear. Not just grand stories, but small, seemingly insignificant stories that can become meaningful and teach us something about ourselves and the world we live in.

Over five evenings, we will discover stories hidden in our hearts that deserve to be told, and we will discover ways of telling them that will touch the hearts of our audiences. We will create authentic theatre through story-telling, movement, music and visual imagery.
