- Till we have faces (2007/2008)
Produced by Chew Zi Chun
Adapted from C.S. Lewis' powerful re-telling of the Greek myth of Cupid and Psyche, 'Till We Have Faces' begins with the complaint of an old woman against the Gods. The woman, Orual, is bitter at the injustice of the gods, whom she accuses of having stolen her sister, the beautiful Psyche.
The play then takes a retrospective glance back at the events which lead to this complaint: from her turbulent childhood with an abusive father, her teenage years spent with her sisters, and the troubled situation in her kingdom, Glome, which culminated in Psyche's sacrifice. When Orual later discovers that Psyche is still alive, she tries to bring her back but is rebuffed-- Psyche says that she is now married to a god. Furious and disbelieving, Orual convinces herself that Psyche must be insane, and sets out on a desperate and ineffectual course of action that leads back to her complaint. Will the gods answer? Will Orual ever see Psyche again? Why should the gods meet us face to face...Till We Have Faces?
- Pygmalion (2008/2009)
Produced by Chan Yu Kit
It is the height of the Edwardian period in England. One stormy night, at the entrance of St. Paul’s Church, London, a chance encounter takes place between two individuals who could not be more different – Eliza Doolittle, a poor Cockney girl struggling to peddle her wares, and Henry Higgins, a professor well-versed in phonetics. When Higgins makes a wager that with proper education, he could “pass [Eliza] off as a duchess at an ambassador's garden party”, he starts off an extraordinary chain of events which culminates in a stunning climax where Eliza’s new-found skills are put to the acid test.
