Toy Factory is presenting Michael Chiang's
Army Daze at Drama Centre @ New Central Library from 2 - 18 Mar 2006. |
|
Army Daze salutes Singaporean boys as they don
uniforms and begin their march into maturity whilst celebrating how the sons of
diverse circumstances come under one camp and become brothers; where the
boundaries of race, age and social status become blurred. |
|
Michael Chiang's play is about the
misadventures of 5 young men going through their Basic Military
Training. |
|
The 5 protagonists are: Malcolm Png, the
middle-class mummy's boy whose overbearing and highly protective mother
just wants him to be a clerk and ¡°not work too hard¡±; Ah Beng, the
street-wise hokkien-spewing HDB boy; Krishna, who is always pining for
his girlfriend Lathi; the limp-wristed Kenny, who dreams of stardom and
wants to join the Music and Drama Company, and Johari, the
happy-go-lucky "Rambo". |
|
Screaming superiors and grueling
exercises aside, the boys have to deal with their lives outside the
microcosm of their platoon, like Krishna¡¯s relationship problems
with his flirtatious girlfriend and Kenny¡¯s angst with his family
who has abandoned him for Australia. |
|
Under these circumstances, the 5
recruits learn more about each other and themselves whilst having to
adjust to army life and their new haircuts with comic results. |
