Community Project: Mixed
Growing up Chindian in Singapore has not been easy for Anika Lee. Her parents, Cassandra and Lee, have fought hard their whole life to protect their kids from racial tensions, both in their family and outside of it. At 21, Anika has cultivated a fire in her that allows her to navigate the difficulties of being mixed. Now a teacher-in-training, she is whole, and ready to fight for what she believes in. She even has her eye on a guy at the job she loves…
‘Mixed’ scrutinises a racial divide that is supposedly cracked, bringing to light the fragments that still have the power to cut. A play about loss, but also about love – about falling, and about getting back up.
Dramatised Reading
TheatreWorks is presenting three brand-new works from emerging playwrights Beverly Wee, Isaac Lim and Tan Mae Shen at 72-13 on 3 June. These three writers started their writing journey with TheatreWorks’ Writing From The Heart programme – a 6-day playwriting workshop followed by a year-long mentorship with renowned playwright Tony Perez.
TheatreWorks has championed the development of new writing since the 90’s, and now that these writers have completed the programme, TheatreWorks will present their works in a day of dramatised readings.
