It is 2067 and a nursing home houses a group of actors who were previously pillars of the Singapore arts scene. Looked after by their no-nonsense nurse, Sister Sara, these nonagenarians still think they’re limber enough to belt out musical theatre canons, rock classics, and the occasional scene from better known local television shows. Once Sister Sara leaves the room, the wigs come off, dentures fly, and walking frames become stage props and you’ll know why they say age is only a (musical) number.

From the Director

The Shrewd Widow (La Vedova Scaltra) was one the first plays Goldoni wrote in the new style of Commedia di Carattere with the aim of reforming the Italian theatre. What does 'reform of theatre' mean? Starting from the old established tradition of the Commedia dell' Arte, Goldoni made his characters more realistic by substituting the masked stock characters with the true people of his times, and consequently giving them a new shape, a new face, a new psychology.
