Playwright Omnibus Series
Four Plays
Singapore’s most promising playwright presents his sophomore collection of plays, including Charged, winner of the 2011 The Straits Times’ Life! Theatre Award for Best Script. Through his signature use of experimental and innovative puppetry and stage devices, Chong’s Charged is Singapore’s most controversial and nuanced political play to date—addressing the issue of racial tensions in the most explosive of scenarios—that of a Chinese corporal shooting his Malay counterpart while on military duty.

"charged" was by far the best of these for me.

Recommending this for 'Charged', which expressed many years ago everything I wanted to articulate about race in Singapore but lacked the words for.
