Went to Esplanade Concert Hall to watch this free play by the final 2 playwrights, where they present their scripts by nearly the same actors reading them out on the stage with minimum actions..
I think the first one was Flying kites on a Sunday and the Second on was Women hitting (on) Women..the first one was less stressful as the plot is simpler and the morale of the story is more obvious..whereas the 2nd one was much much confusing..jumping around and you muz pay attention very carefully to piece the whole story together..both plays used alot of local jokes, less political (cos Mrs Goh C T was the GOH) and the amusing ones are those regarding religion..
There are some parts particularly amusing and i hope i got it right..
The lead actress was telling her ex-gf (they were lesbians) sth like why abortion rates were higher in Catholic schs than Methodist schs are bcos Catholics taught them these are Sins whereas Methodists are hush-hush about it and tried to hide the fact that it ever exist.
Then one part where the lead actress went to consult the young female counsellor when she was in a dilemma ab being a lesbian and in her low points in life..
she asked the counsellor: "why are u a christian?"
Counsellor: he he he he (uneasiness)
Actress: why do u believe in god?
Counsellor: well...my whole family is christian tat's y i am christian he he he he(uneasiness)
Actress: So if you are borned into a Buddhist family u will be a Buddhist?
Counsellor: ......(looking up uneasy) he he he....how can you say tat?!
Kinda interesting isnt it? questions the fact of following your family in a religion...
makes my bf laugh even haha..
The winning script is Women hitting (on) Women which will be staged in esplanade nxt month i think..it's really worth watching..but prepared to be real attentive..not recommended if you are mentally drained XD
PS: Was sitting right in front of my linguistics profs la..then saw quah..how big a coincidence is tat? haiz...
