SHE’S BACK!
The Peranakan Association Singapore and WILD RICE present a very special evening for members.
The fabulous Baba Ivan Heng reprises the titular role in this seminal play by Nyonya Stella Kon.
Ivan Heng is one of Singapore’s most acclaimed actors. Glen Goei is one of Singapore’s most celebrated directors. Together, they bring to life one of Singapore theatre’s most iconic characters: Emily Gan, an abandoned girl who overcomes all odds to emerge as the matriarch of a distinguished Peranakan household.
Evoking the golden age of Straits-Chinese culture from the 1930s, this new production promises to be the most immersive version of Stella Kon’s enduring classic yet. Step into the brand new W!LD RICE theatre and become one of Emily’s guests in her opulent, meticulously kept mansion.
Date: 11 Sept 2019
Time: 7.30pm
Venue: Ngee Ann Kongsi Theatre @W!LD RICE
Address: FUNAN CENTRE, 109 North Bridge Road, Singapore 179097
