POOP by The Finger Players - 30 April to 3 May 09

“Death is merely a joke when there’s nothing to cry about” After her son’s suicide, a grandmother takes her granddaughter on a mind trip to the underworld and purgatory — set against an all-too-familiar urban backdrop of fast food restaurants, underground trains, verdant pastures, and SBS buses.  There’s nothing to fear about death, she preaches.  Personal fantasies about the after-life are challenged however when her granddaughter contracts a terminal illness.  The grandmother fights with her daughter-in-law, converses with the spirit of her son, drinks a cup of Milo and watches her granddaughter take her final march towards her deathbed in a kind of apocalyptic graphic novel meets Victorian-era toy theatre.  Written and Directed by Chong Tze Chien

Janice Koh, Jean Ng, Julius Foo  and Neo Swee Lin
