About the Play

Singapore Arts Festival 2006 presents
A STRANGER AT HOME
by Drama Box (World Premier)

A professor and his student embark on the study of life through e-mail exchanges. What does the heart want and where is itlocated? Will home be found there? Meet life’s characters – the teacher, the lover, the old woman, the medium and the terrorist who lay bare their hearts even as they search for it. Each is at the crossroads of choice: to claim a new sense of belonging or be
lost to nostalgia. A STRANGER AT HOME is a visceral look at the impact of the changing urbanlandscape on human emotions, needs, memories and existence.

Adapted and directed by Kok Heng Leun, based on the original play of the same title by Quah Sy Ren and his book “If on an Island, a Wanderer” co-written with Ng How Wee, presented with film by Royston Tan and music by local band, The Observatory in a combination of theatre, music, film and words.
