Serunding is the winning script from the 24-Hour Playwriting Competition (Open Category) 2010. It was the first winning play to premiere in two performance tours to the South East District in 2010 and 2011. This one-woman play stirs the voice of Safiah to life like a perfect dish of serunding. A Malay homemaker, Safiah’s belief as a devout Muslim and her parental expectations fall into conflict with her children. She also suffers tedious ties with her mother-in-law Sofea Jane. Told through humour, food, and many phone calls, ‘Serunding’ draws us to the heart and the pain of a mother’s love. A spicy and sweet expression of the Singapore family caught at the centre of cultural values and modern living.
