Recalling Mother (2009)

Recalling Mother is a funny and moving piece written and performed by Claire Wong and Noorlinah Mohamed.

Two women tell stories about two other women – their mothers – and the complexities of living with (and not living with) Mother. The production was first produced in the intimate setting of a fine art gallery, providing a unique and nuanced theatrical experience, celebrating the joys and challenges of motherhood – and daughterhood.

First produced in 2009 by Checkpoint Theatre.

Reviews

Heartfelt performances and a tight script

The Straits Times, SG

... entertaining and moving... the use of space [was] clever and creative.

The Transit Cafe, SG

Recalling Mother reveals its emotional core: an exploration of the cultural gulf that separates Wong and Noorlinah from their non-English-speaking mothers.

Singapore Art Gallery Guide, SG

... engaging and vivid... subtly layered with issues regarding language and communication.

Channel News Asia, SG
