Playwriting in Singapore

The Necessary Stage hosts a series of forums with the aim of discussing issues pertinent to artists and their craft. These forums were recorded and documented in 9 Lives: 10 Years of Singapore Theatre.

Over the past five years, there have been more opportunities for playwrights in Singapore - with playwriting workshops, writer's laboratories, commissions and playwriting competitions. However, with the growth of commercial theatre, film and tele-drama in Singapore there is a perception that playwriting is facing a certain crisis.

Panelists offered their personal responses to the following:
- What drives a playwright to write
- Can playwrights exist by just writing for the theatre
- Will film, TV and growing commercialisation lead to the demise of the Singapore playwright
