David Lee, NUS student and President of the Association of Students for Self Expression (ASS), takes it upon himself to launch The Campaign to Confer the Public Service Star on JBJ. His plucky project takes him on an amazing adventure with both expected and surprising twists and turns.
Clara Tang, rising star of the Civil Service, is tasked to exercise damage control. In the most challenging mission of her career, she finds herself navigating the maze of New Singapore and Old Constraints.
So, would such a campaign be possible today?
Join us for a hilarious look at the boundaries of fearless expression in Singapore. This fantastical account of an unlikely petition to publicly recognise an unsung hero, unfolds into a wildly imaginative expose of possible official reactions.
Written by Eleanor Wong and directed by Ivan Heng, The Campaign to Confer the Public Service Star on JBJ was nominated for both "Best Original Script" and "Best Production of 2006" at the Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards 2007.
With Pam Oei (Dim Sum Dollies, Titoudao) and Rodney Oliveiro (Spin, Machine) playing a carnival of characters, and a rousing soundtrack by Freddy Mercury & Queen, this promises a side-splitting, thought-provoking and politically incorrect evening of laughter and fears. Don't miss it on any account!
