SYNOPSIS

Synopsis

CPL Cheong has just been shot in the belly at the firing range: in his last moments of his life, he tells the audience his story. He has been pregnant with a child of unknown origin since BMP, or so he believes. Despite the sensible advice of his army buddy and his government prostitute imaginary friend, he attempts to destroy the foetus by various means, including visits to the Medical Centre and a fall from the roof of the Accoms block (which earns him a medical downgrade). Eventually, Cheong learns to live with his pregnancy until, when approaching ORD, he realises the child may survive him and shoots himself.

Serve by Ng Yi-Sheng was created as part of The Necessary Stage's Playwright's Cove.

It's first public reading was presented at the Asian Civilisation Museum on 9th February 2002.
