It’s 1993, and 16-year-old Candice, in her nice house in her nice neighbourhood in Serangoon Gardens, wonders why the city around her seems so sleepy and lame compared to the world she glimpses in MTV and her music magazines – pictures roiling with sex, drugs, and rebellion.

When Candice’s mum burns all her tapes and magazines in a fit of moral panic, Candice finally snaps and embarks on a night-long bender to end all benders. In the darkness, she sees the Singapore she’s been craving all this time: punks in a sweaty mosh pit, a police raid, and a seductive American boy with diplomatic immunity and an endless supply of happy pills…

Punchy, unhinged, and pulsing with youthful anger, The Serangoon Gardens Techno Party of 1993 is the story of one young woman raging against the machine. How brightly can you burn without killing yourself and the people around you? Directed by Sim Yan Ying “YY”, this provocative new play by Joel Tan is a love song to the crazy Singapore of the 1990s, when rebellion steamed beneath the orderly surface of the city.
