Apocalypse: LIVE! (2008)

20 August 2008 – 24 August 2008 @ Drama Centre Theatre

Synopsis

It is the year 2058. Singapore is reeling from an unprecedented attack: buildings have been flattened, tens of thousands of people have been killed. In fact, nearly everything in this once pristine and technologically advanced city-state has been destroyed.

A day after the disaster, Major General Abdul Aziz has taken over the reins of power in a military coup. A colony of intrepid survivors, led by activist Jessie Soon and pastor Simon Sitoh, have pooled their resources to rebuild Singapore.

Sifting through the wasteland are news anchorman David Fong and reporter Lisa Takahashi, determined to cover the rebirth of the nation in real time. Can Singapore reclaim itself? We bring you their minute-by-hour report, live.
