This bi-lingual musical comedy chronicles the rocky road to love between Mr Beng and Peach. Mr Beng, not your stereotypical Ah Beng, drives a Mercedes, wears Versace clothes and sings Hokkien Karaoke. Peach is a classy uptown girl, temperamental and stubborn.

The play attempts to examine the cultural gaps that all Singaporeans must deal with on a day-to-day basis, trapped between borrowed Eastern and Western cultures, alternating between our ‘mother’ tongue, Singlish and received Standard English.
