The Coffin is Too Big for the Hole

23 - 24 Feb 2010
Esplanade Theatre Studio
As part of Huayi 2010 Festival commission: SCENES
Beyond life and death, the most absurd funeral feud between the powerful and the powerless begins.
A person dies; a funeral ensues; kinfolk amass
A coffin for the dead; a hole for the coffin; a set of rules for the living
What happens when the coffin is too big for the hole?
Who will budge in thie tug-of-war between compassion and the system?
Based on the original play written in 1985 by Singapore Cultural Medallion winner, Kuo Pao Kun.
