Not Afraid to Remember
Written by Kim Ramakrishnan, Not Afraid To Remember is about how a woman stood up against unbearable odds and cruelty for the sake of her fellow man. It focuses on the internment of Singapore teacher and politician, Elizabeth Choy, by the Japanese during the Occupation in the 1940s. It is a play of essences rather than one concerning polemics and deals in a spare fashion with strength under extreme pressure. The action centres on the interrogations, some real, some imagined, which took place. It conveys in simple images the strong beliefs held by both Choy and the Japanese. It is a work about unbending faith and courage.
