Stories fuelled by estrogen, testosterone and rage. I Theatre presents man. woman. child, a series of three original one act plays that illuminate yet cut across the distinctions between age and gender.
man: coffee with chris
Chris is an intelligent writer who's going places. Well, he was going places until his second novel bombed. Never mind! He's just written his third and it's bound to get noticed (by all the wrong people). Will he win hi agent's trust and gain immortaility, or will he be stuffed into bargain bin obscurity? The answer lies in a cup of coffee, with Chris.
child: the protector
A girl is abused for five years by the people supposed to care for her. A prosecutor channels his rage to bring the perpetrators to justice. A perpetrator lies unrepentant in jail. And an ordinary man becomes the protector of a gift; the change for a normal life. Based on a high profile local case, this one man play explores how trauma affects the individual. How it can lead one man down an accidental path leading to righteousness and another down a calculated path, leading to perversion.
woman: the perfect shoe
You're a postmodern Singapore Girl looking for the perfect pair of low heeled, black leather pumps. The trouble is, you have size 40 to 41 feet! You suffer from toe cramps, calluses and a sister who won't invite you to her wedding until you replace your comfy track shoes for the pair of your dreams. What to do? This lively one woman play, performed with success in Singapore, Norway and New Zealand, tackles the ongoing struggle with footwear blessed with more fashion than sense.
