Robust and diverse, these six vital original Singapore plays address themes of family in all its complexity and diversity. They examine with care, intelligence, and honesty the joys and pains of family: the papered-over cracks of a twenty-year marriage; the enduring ties between a parent and a child; the forging of bonds between those not bound by blood. This anthology of acclaimed plays includes Oon Shu An’s #UnicornMoment, Luke Somasundram’s The Untitled Funeral Play, and Recalling Mother by Claire Wong and Noorlinah Mohamed.
Edited and introduced by Lucas Ho.

Sharp and incisive, Joel Tan has received widespread recognition and acclaim for his lyricism, wit, and elegant mastery of language. His ability to craft dialogue in all its complex nuances, lilts and milieux has established him as an important voice of his generation and one of its most exciting playwrights. This compilation of seven remarkable plays from Joel, which include the humorously thought-provoking Mosaic and delicately poignant The Way We Go, capture the intricacies of the modern world with stillness and intelligence.
Edited by Lucas Ho and features an interview with the playwright by Huzir Sulaiman.

Honest and compelling, Faith Ng’s plays bear witness to slices of Singapore life in all of their emotional complexity. Her characteristic empathy and perception shine through the shorthand and subtext captured in her vivid dialogue. From the universally acclaimed Normal to the delicately wrought For Better or for Worse, this collection of deeply affecting and sensitively crafted plays shows precisely why Faith is one of the most celebrated playwrights in her generation.
Edited by Lucas Ho with an introduction by Dr Philip Holden.
