Short Description
Old Flame Rekindled
The Necessary Stage's Lanterns Never Go Out, first staged in 1989, then 1990 for the Singapore Festival of Arts Core Programme, was given a new breath of life earlier this year when it was staged for Young People's Theatre as a Theatre-in-Education (TIE) Programme. Directed by Elvira Holmberg, the programme was divided into two parts. In the first part, the cast went to schools a week before the play opened and conducted exercises and fun-filled activities with students. Along the way, students found out about Kah Wei, the protagonist of the play.
