SYNOPSIS

Still Building is about people trapped by family, by friends, by buildings and by themselves, and their attempts to break free.

TWO STORIES ARE JUXTAPOSED IN ONE PLAY:

The first is about two sister, Kim and Cheng, and their good friend, Alan Cheng, the younger of the two, cannot cope with the memories their house represents for her, and decides to move out. Alan, who is adopted, receives a letter from a couple in Manila claming to be his real parents and decides to go there. Kim, who beleives in stability and not rocking the boat, finds difficulty coping with Cheng and Alan's decisions.

In the second story, three people (played by the same actors) are trapped when the building they are in collapses suddenly. Inspired by the Hotel New World collapse, this story shows the trauma of three people stuck in a mass of rubble, waiting to be rescued.
