Partial Eclipse Of The Heart (2025)

21 August 2025 – 7 September 2025 @ Drama Centre Theatre

Synopsis

Every decade at the same seaside chalet, five friends gather beneath the shadow of an eclipse, marking the ever-changing tides of their lives…

One minute, you're a reckless teenager with big dreams; the next, you're a "responsible" grown-up wondering how everything got so complicated. First loves, epic fails, questionable decisions… Who said growing pains stop at adulthood?!

But aiya, we'll figure it out together! Life's tempo may shift, but some melodies stay on repeat.
