Forty-Four Winning Plays from the TheatreWorks 24-Hour Playwriting Competition: Volume One

Gathered in this book are forty-four breakout plays that capture the diversity of Singapore's dramatic voices. There are tales of scandalous politicians, glamorous tai tais, repentant gangsters, fussy makciks, furious rubbish collectors, jaded lovers and ordinary families pushed to their limits. Created by the prizewinners of the 24-Hour Playwriting Competition, a joint project by TheatreWorks (Singapore) and the South East Community Development Council, these scripts are alternately passionate, hilarious and smart - and all the more impressive, since each one was completed within the space of a single day.
