Wills & Secession (2003)

INVITATION TO TREAT is the complete trilogy of plays by lawyer and acclaimed playwright Eleanor Wong. First staged in the 1990s, Mergers & Accusations and Wills & Secessions were two plays that made a huge impact on the Singapore theatre scene for their bold ideas, sparkling wit and incisively honest portrayal of the experience of a gay person’s double life in conservative Singapore.

A decade on and have things changed? We may have been busily "Remaking" ourselves, but really, does every Singaporean matter? Whether because of race, sex, age or occupation, some relationships are deemed taboo by society. So how do you fight for what is right for you. Can you? Should you?

Is Singapore ready for the World Premiere of Jointly & Severably, the much-anticipated final installment of Singapore's first TRILOGY of plays? 

This groundbreaking project by WILD RICE presents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to catch all the THREE stylish, funny and moving plays that lift the lid on living and loving in the Lion City.

Wills and Secession

Some years later, Ellen, who now lives with Lesley in liberal London, returns to Singapore to deal with family matters when her mother dies. Enter Amazing Grace, her righteous religious sister, and the siblings battle it out on the minefield of faith, family values and a shared childhood.
