Secondary school teacher, Ms Lim, finds it difficult to relate to the notorious, stereotypical troublemaker in her class. What can the frustrated her do about his crude jokes and attention-seeking behavior? Make him stand outside the class, as usual.

Weicheng seems undeterred by all forms of punishments for his misbehaviours. One evening, he follows his classmate Jasmine up to the rooftop. Mysteriously, she falls from the rooftop and lands in the hospital, in a coma. Weicheng, who is the only witness, is also the sole suspect.

As Ms Lim takes on the daunting task to protect and help her students, she faces other emerging challenges – an uncooperative student and a principal who is going all out to protect her school’s reputation.

Will Jasmine wake up from her coma? Will Weicheng return to the school? Will Ms Lim hang on to her faith and passion?

The inaugural production for The Fool Theatre, Because it’s Fun shows how bullying is omnipresent in our society and how it affects our mental well-being. Don’t miss this mind-blowing new play by playwright Tung Ka Wai and artistic director Xavier Kang, founders of The Fool Theatre.
