Plays for our first weekend are:Long Weekend by Kenneth Chia (5.00pm)There are friends, and then there are Friends. Han Lin is struggling with the death of his long time friend, Keith, two days before the funeral. When a visit by Keith’s ghost takes them down their past, they are forced to confront their complex relationship and grieve with fresh eyes. Long Weekend exists where what could be attempts to remember what it is.National Memory Project by Johnny Jon Jon (7.00pm)The National Memory Project (NMP) is a sustained long-term national knowledge initiative to put in place a system to enable our cultural and intellectual memory to be collected, organized, preserved, and promoted for research and discovery. The project hopes to capture the essence of a country and have it preserved for sharing with the future generations. But when an officer of the memory corps is tasked with retrieving a memory from a convicted murderer awaiting the execution of his death sentence she learns that a memory without its roots is merely nostalgia.The Cave by Annabel Tan (9.00pm)The Cave is a monologue written to explore the nature of the female body and the expectations heaped upon it. A heterosexual female undergoes a battle navigating spaces and issues as she perceives them. This piece is inspired by actual comments from people are too guarded to express their thoughts. It questions whether an interior voice speaking in its own codes can speak to others rather than remain trapped inside one person.Are you a die-hard theatre-goer who wants to watch ALL 3 Fresh!
