On the cusp of Japan's surrender during World War II, a Japanese general suffers a stroke and is tended to by a Malay gardener. As they spar, having heated debates about the war, the present is revealed: a Japanese man in a relationship with an Indian woman in Kuala Lumpur; his ex-wife coming to grips with an astrologer's predictions; their son, studying in the United States and confronted by his classmates about Japan's past.

A multilingual production featuring artists from Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, Mobile 2: Flat Cities casts the spotlight on stories of personal, social and universal struggles across Asian cities.

The play is The Necessary Stage's long-awaited follow up to the critically-acclaimed Mobile, which premiered at the 2006 Singapore Arts Festival and toured to Kuala Lumpur and Tokyo.

A man stabs an MP at a Meet the People Session. But this is not their story.

It is the story of Melly, the man’s girlfriend, an Indonesian maid who wants to get married and become a Singapore citizen. It is the story of Mrs Chua, the MP’s wife, who tries to cope with her husband’s injury and the media spotlight. It is the story of Wendy, the maid’s employer, who is also
struggling with her own tragedy.

These 3 women may mean nothing to each other, but they need one another to survive. The maid, the employer and the MP’s wife. Are they all model citizens?
