Responding to the rich layers of ambivalence and irony in Arthur Yap's poem "there is no future in nostalgia," the four residents of Centre 42's Playwright's Professional Development Residency present dramatized readings of new short plays that reflect on the tensions between technocratic and civic visions of life in Singapore.
These four new short plays are presented as double-bill performances over two weekends:
Studio A
- A double-bill of works by Ahmad Musta'ain and Danial Matin
- Sat 20 May, 3pm and Sun 21 May, 8pm
Studio B
- A double-bill of works by A Yagnya and Rachel Chin
- Sat 27 May, 3pm and Sun 28 May, 8pm
