The Campaign to Confer the Public Service Star on JBJ

19 Sep – 7 Oct 2007

Drama Centre Theatre, Singapore

David Lee, NUS student and President of the Association of Students for Self Expression (ASS), takes it upon himself to launch The Campaign to Confer the Public Service Star on JBJ. His plucky project takes him on an amazing adventure with both expected and surprising twists and turns.

Clara Tang, rising star of the Civil Service, is tasked to exercise damage control. In the most challenging mission of her career, she finds herself navigating the maze of New Singapore and Old Constraints.

So, would such a campaign be possible today?

Written by Eleanor Wong and directed by Ivan Heng, THE CAMPAIGN TO CONFER THE PUBLIC SERVICE STAR ON JBJ is a hilarious look at the boundaries of fearless expression in Singapore! With Pam Oei and Rodney Oliveiro playing a carnival of characters, and a rousing soundtrack by Freddy Mercury & Queen, this fantastical account of an unlikely petition to publicly recognise an unsung hero, unfolds into a wildly imaginative exposé of possible official reactions.
