Directed by Kok Heng Leun, our Resident Director, this play focuses on a current concern: teenage street-corner gangs. Bullying exists everywhere, but what can a victim do and why does one resort to bullying others. This play is about gangs and bullies, in schools and neighbourhoods - what motivates members to join them and why?

Be was written as part of the University of Birmingham's MA in Playwrighting Studies Programme. This earlier draft was staged as part of the Programme's Performance Weekend at the Allardyce Nicoll Studio in July 1995.

Rosnah is the story of one young woman's journey when she leaves home for the first time to study in London. the play crosses boundaries between cultures, traditions and trends.

She hides out at the airport. She refuses to go home. She's not a rebellious teenager. She's an 85-year old grandmother who won't be talked into changing her mind.

A Theatre-in-Education performance adapted from I Am Old (1995), which includes a workshop element.

Siew and Mickey are married. Mickey wants a baby. Siew doesn't. Mickey talks to his mother over the phone all the time. Siew hates her mother-in-law. Mickey complains that he's always being put down by his wife. Siew disagrees. If you think they have got problems, wait till you see what they find outside their flat in typical old Cantonese movie style -- a BABY! Both Siew and Mickey panic- typical - Three Men and A Baby style. Mickey wants to keep the baby. Siew doesn't. Guess who wins?

阿秀下班回到家，见丈夫阿奇在与家婆通电话，不悦二人又为生孩子一事争吵。然后双双换衣服出门会朋友。回家后，阿奇又因不满阿秀整天在朋友面前数落他而与之争吵。阿秀这时意外在门口发现一个弃婴。阿奇不舍得将婴孩送走，阿秀起初还反对，不过渐渐地二人与婴儿建立起深厚的感情。。。

Siew and Mickey simply can't stand their mothers-in-law… and their mothers too. They are always bullied by them, complained about by them, picked on by them. Everything about Siew and Mickey is 'just not right'. Then comes Mother's Day. Beware of what you buy for them, otherwise there will be more bullying. More complaining. They must also be careful because what do mothers do best? They compare about everything-- looks, clothes, figure, income, Mother's Day presents. So Siew and Mickey come up with a brilliant idea: to get the mothers the same present, wrap them with the same wrapping paper and tie them with the same type of ribbon. Problem solved, right? Wrong!

啊秀和啊奇为了减少与母亲的磨檫，特地为他们选择了同样的母亲节礼物，并邀请他们在当天到家里吃晚饭，不料两位母亲从踏进门的那一刻开始，事天巨细，从阿秀的健康，神坛的位置，厕所的瓷砖，都引起两代之间的争论。。。。。。
