Civilised

The Necessary Stage is taking over the stage with an audacious new production that challenges audiences to examine the complexities of colonialism and colonisation, as well as its traces in our world today. Director Alvin Tan and resident playwright Haresh Sharma explore the ‘legacies’ of colonisers and the identities of post-colonial worlds. With a stellar cast starring Edith Podesta, Ghafir Akbar, Koh Wan Ching, Lian Sutton and Siti Khalijah Zainal, Civilised truly poses the question of whether society has moved beyond the dark past of colonisation.
