Armed with fantastic powers, Agnes is a goddess on a heroic mission: ‘to save gay men from themselves’. But where on earth can she go to make the biggest difference?
When Agnes lands in the strait-laced realm known as Singapore, a mysterious guide called ‘Boy’ offers to show her around. Together, they travel through time – meeting horny, sweaty rickshaw coolies, love-doomed resistance fighters during the Japanese Occupation, and the lonely drifters of a virtual landscape filled with headless torsos.
Blending the divine with the profane, by turns harrowing and hilarious, Alfian Sa’at’s Dreamplay: Asian Boys Vol. 1 takes audiences on a fabulous tour through Singapore’s history, throwing light and fairy dust at the little-known beginnings of an alternative community on this seemingly heteronormative island.
Directed with flamboyant flair by Ivan Heng and featuring an all-new cast led by Pam Oei as Agnes, Dreamplay makes its exuberant return to the Singapore stage during Pride Month. Come and see for yourself why Dreamplay – written unapologetically at the tentative turn of the millennium – has rightly earned its place as one of the pioneering works in queer Singapore theatre.
