Occupation (2002)
An old woman’s recollection of romance under the Japanese Occupation of Singapore causes her young interviewer to re-evaluate life, memory, history and subjectivity. Seven characters, one actress. Lush music, stunning visuals, and a magically metamorphosing set.

This was a triumph of a production.

Occupation is a gem in the history of the theatre.

Sulaiman's script is lyrical, nuanced and highly literate... The one-woman performance by the remarkable Claire Wong... nothing short of astounds.
