9 Lives

In this rare book, The Necessary Stage has compiled a stimulating collection of essays and discussions that survey aspects of 10 years of Singapore theatre.

From a detailed pre-1985 history of the Singapore English language theatre in Singapore, to arts education, community theatre and playwriting; from an engagement with the methodology and collaborative practice of The Necessary Stage to a candid interview with premier Singapore dramatist, the late Kuo Pao Kun, 9 Lives: 10 Years of Singapore Theatre will engage, inform and illuminate even the casual theatre-goer.
