World Premiere of Streetwalkers

Best New Play - Theatre Idols 2009

Now playing till 9 August 2009 only!

Don't miss one of the most exciting original new plays to have emerged from Singapore theatre scene in recent years!

Join Singapore theatre pioneer Lim Siauw Chong, seasoned actor David Leong (Painted Skin, Comrade Mayor) and newcomer Conan Choong in ACTION Theatre's world premiere production of "Streetwalkers" by Yak Aik Wee.

Winner of Best New Play Award at Theatre Idols 2009, "Steetwalkers" is a hard-hitting and heartfelt play about three men of different age groups and social strata. Their separate lives become intertwined through accidental and deliberate encounters in the dark alleys of Chinatown’s Ann Siang Hill.

Sex. Truth. Transactions.

Ben is a lost teenager looking for short cuts to attain his life goals. Gerald is a 35-year-old man with a saviour-complex so ingrained he doesn’t know how to save himself. Gilbert is a 45-year-old designer whose flamboyant exterior conceals a soul more fragile than he’d ever admit.

The three men navigate their ways in lives to find love, wealth and happiness against the backdrop of Ann Siang Place, a short one-way street once populated by remittance houses and letter-writing shops - catering to early Chinese immigrants.

Beautifully layered and intricately textured, "Streetwalkers" smartly and refreshingly dissects the nature of contemporary relationships - addressing issues as diverse as materialism, aging, fidelities and sexual identities.

Directed by Life! Theatre Award winner Samantha Scott-Blackhall. Starring Lim Siauw Chong, David Leong and Conan Choong. (Read more about the cast in the next post.)

"Streetwalkers" is the opening play for "Revelations", ACTION Theatre's exciting new 2009/10 season.
