Over three decades, The Necessary Stage and actors-collaborators who have been partners in the making of the company's devised plays have revealed to us over and over again - in profound, heartbreaking and funny ways - what it means to 'be' in Singapore. 

Vinod | Radha Krishnan | Eric Sim Guan Yeow | Noorhayati Yusof | Sergeant Mok | Jali bin Mohd Fariz | Mrs Chua | Mrs Phua Su Lin | Alisha | Melly | Saloma and many more

Away from the buzz of the rehearsal room and in a solitary space where a playwright dwells for a time, Haresh Sharma forms up direct, powerful, honest, smart, funny words that enable these characters to speak into the very soul of our city.

Being Haresh Sharma is a work helmed by Cake Theatrical Productions' Natalie Hennedige that looks at Haresh's body of writing over 30 years. It makes bold, unexpected links and associations, mapping stories and characters in ways that surface the social, poltiical and spiritual aspects of life here; it brings it all together with unexpected and exciting performance energy; sparking new ways of looking at his words and of experiencing performance and theatre
