Writers’ Lab goes to the Community
Saying Grace
Touring the South East District from February 2012
FREE ADMISSION
A TheatreWorks Writers’ Lab Community Project in partnership with the South East Community Development Council
Performed by Andrew Lua
Written by Hu Fangda
Directed by Gerald Chew
With initial dramaturgy by Robin Loon
Andrew Harvey Lee is seemingly perfect: educated, married, hardworking, a corporate high-flyer. He wants to live well like other Singaporeans do. But he eats and purges himself too much.
A prize-winning entry of the 24-Hour Playwriting Competition 2011 (Youth Category), Saying Grace traces the life of an accountant battling an eating disorder. Follow Andrew’s fall from grace as he negotiates his body, career, family and sanity through a deep plunge past rock bottom. A tussle of mind over matter, society above self, this one-man show offers a rare perspective into the private world of a man who has lived, lost and hopes to live again.
Since 2008, TheatreWorks has forged a dynamic partnership with South East CDC in organising its Writers’ Lab programmes for the community’s benefit. The 24-Hour Playwriting Competition takes place each year at unconventional sites and sees the participation of aspiring writers from all walks of life, young and senior. Saying Grace marks the third edition of the Writers’ Lab Community Project in showcasing new writing reflecting the heart and soul of Singaporeans; through a whirlwind tour of public spaces within the South East District!
