SYNOPSIS

Synopsis

Collection of four highly innovative plays written by Chong Tze Chien, the resident playwright of Singapore's socially committed theatre company, The Necessary Stage (f.1987). The plays are complemented by an introduction by Prof. K.K. Seet, director of the Theatre Studies Program at the National University of Singapore and interviews with Alvin Tan, founder of the Necessary Stage. The plays cut furrows far from conventional boulevard theatre and deal with society's margins and constantly question, confront and destabilise conventional norms of Singaporeans. Chong Tze Chien's PIE (Pan Island Expressway) won the 1998 Singapore Dramatist Award and was staged by TheatreWorks in 1999.
