Highway needs to be built but in its path, a 150 old tree stands. The road can take an alternative route but on that path there is a 50 year old tree planted by the former Prime minister. The Society of Flora and Roots (SoFaR), a volunteer-based organisation, debate before signing a petition on which tree should be up-rooted. When all else fails, they conduct a public forum to decide which is more important, the preservation of our natural past, or the re-imagined history that someone planted.
Trees, A Crowd is a new play written and directed by Irfan Kasban. This is one of the two 'Headliner!' as presented by The Twenty-Something Theatre Festival 2016 which celebrates the creative spirit and voice of twenty-something theatre makers and creatives in Singapore.
Starring: Jo Tan, Faizal Abdullah, Shafiqhah Efandi, Chng Xin Xuan
