Fair Play

W!ld Rice, 2019

Director: Thomas Lim

Venue: Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre

Moments before they make their entrance into our world, Boy and Girl are each assigned scripts by a Playwright. As they rehearse for the lives that they will lead, they begin questioning the roles that they have been given. Why are women and men expected to behave in certain ways? How did the world come to be such an unequal place for women and men? Can there be a different way of raising future generations?

This challenging and insightful new comedy by Thomas Lim introduces young people to the shared experience of theatre and encourages them to engage with a play’s themes and think about how the issues raised relate to everyday life and the world we live in.
