Singaporean drama trilogy explores identity and politics.

If you're intrigued by plays that resonate with the pulse of contemporary society and grapple with the complexities of personal identity, you'll find "Invitation to Treat: The Eleanor Wong Trilogy" rewarding. Wong's talent lies in creating a vivid dramatic landscape that touches on themes of love, friendship, and the personal-political nexus, all set against a backdrop recognisable to those acquainted with Singapore's culture. Through her plays, you'll encounter a voice that's not only authentic but also speaks to universal human experiences.

Description

Apart from capturing zeitgeist more than the average playwright in Singapore, the works of Eleanor Wong represent a distillation of the hallmarks of dramatists both antecedent to and contemporaneous with her. She is that versatile auteur who partakes of the best features of Singapore’s young but recognisable dramatic tradition. She excels with her fine ear for registering pitch and voice and wisely confines her characters and their liaisons to a milieu with which she is familiar. Still, to label her trilogy as lesbian plays is to be reductive. These plays succeed primarily because they are textured, weaving ruminations on personal identity, love and friendship, family and kinship, religious faith, the inextricable connection between the personal and political, the dialectics of centre and margin.-Dr. K.K. Seet
