$25.00Discover the life of theatre doyen Kuo Pao Kun through his words and photographs in this pictorial record…
Kuo Pao Kun moved from the rural areas in Hebei to Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore and then Australia; his record of attending six secondary schools; his works repeatedly banned from being staged publicly; his wholehearted devotion to learning Malay literature with the help of a dictionary; his determination to establish experimental theatre through the convergence of people “power”; his wondrous idea of founding a theatre training programme incorporating Eastern theatre traditions; his noble ambition of connecting the Asian theatre circle… in this worldly journey of his, he may have passed on but others continue to thread in his footsteps.

The Complete Works of Kuo Pao Kun ②: Plays in Chinese (The 1980s)
$20.00Detained without trial for four and a half years, Kuo Pao Kun underwent a major reflection on his perceptions and thoughts. He was released in 1980 and resumed directing, producing and writing plays immediately. Moving away from his previous trait of overt social criticism, Kuo began to explore new creative challenges and theatrical styles. By remembering and reflecting local realities, Kuo’s essential humanism was reflected in his vision of theatre.

A house where time stands still
A group of women who each have secrets from a different era in Singapore’s history
Suddenly, someone knocks on the door…The Bride Always Knocks Twice is a multi-lingual feast that features a dynamic ensemble of 8 women. Through the myriad of identities presented, this absurdist comedy is a celebration of the female voice in Singapore history, featuring iconic characters such as a Samsui woman, a Chinese National immigrant, the concubine of Sultan Iskandar Shah and a nun.
Quintessentially Singaporean, playwrights Liu Xiao Yi and Jonathan Lim join forces to present a conversational and candid look at the intersections of gender, societal expectations and nationhood.
