2020 has been a challenging year for Singapore's creative industry, with art galleries and theatres being forced to close for most of the year. But things are looking up finally. After months of having its doors shuttered, Pangdemonium returns to theatres with 'Girls & Boys', a one-woman play starring Nikki Muller and directed by Tracie Pang.
Written by the award-winning author of 'Matilda the Musical' Dennis Kelly, the play has seen successful runs at prestigious venues around the world like Minetta Lane Theatre in New York and the Royal Court Theatre in London. Nikki plays the protagonist, who is simply called "Woman" throughout the play. After an unexpected meeting at an airport, she gets into a passionate and intense relationship with her future husband.
Let us get you acquainted with Nikki's character. Woman is a strong and confident 21st-century woman with a flourishing career as a documentary-film executive and is the devoted mother of two children. She makes you laugh at her observations of the world, and her adventures with the colourful people in her life. But she's also vulnerable, swears too much, and has married the wrong man. Her husband's faults, it seems, will have disastrous consequences for all involved.
This coming February, Pangdemonium welcomes you back into one of its plays; and Woman welcomes you into her home, into her world, and into her life.
The play runs from February 25 to March 14 and will show at Drama Centre Theatre. Booking starts on December 16 on pangdemonium.com and SISTIC.
