Logos explores the theme of language through movements, sound and lighting. Landscapes are represented with the human body to suggest how we have seem to have lost contact with nature and that language seems to have a part to play in the subjugation of nature, and eventually, of ourselves, our fellow human beings. All ' recognisable' texts in the play are extracts from others, such as Lu Hsun, Martin Luther King Jr., William Shakespeare's 'Bottom' and the Vedas. 

This play revolves around Kah Wei, a 15-year old girld, who will be sitting for her GCE 'O' Level examinations next year. The play starts with Chinese New Year where Kah Wei's relatives' constant nagging and unwanted advise force her to seek refuge in he room. The scenes that follow reveal the different aspects of Kah Wei's character--her relationships, her childhood, her coming to grips with the roles she must play and the various expectations she faces.

As the play progresss, we may find ourselves as Kah Wei does, questioning the dos and don'ts, the whys and hows, of life. Or, we may find ourselves questioning Kah Wei.

Lights, set and sound are always part of every director's concern. These three elements can largely help to convey that final touch of mood, ambience and meaning which heighten the audience's experience of a play--even if it is a minimalist-type production. The actors in this production have been workshopped such that they are able to respond to different rhythms, sounds, lights and props--building, improvising upon the sensory input that the lighting, sound and set designers provide. In turn, the designers build upon the actors' improvisations and as a group, establish a way of working organically to create a play. My cast and I hope that for you, this piece touches your senses in more than just a literal way.

Lanterns Never Go Out revolves around Kah Wei, a 15-year-old girl who finds that being a teenager with new roles and new expectations is not easy. When her ideals and reality do not match, she wishes to return to her childhood of goldfish lanterns and comics. As the play progresses, we find ourselves questioning the dos and don'ts, the whys and hows. Or we may find ourselves questioning Kah Wei.
