National Day Charade invites you to rethink Singapore’s iconic National Day celebration. In this irreverent satire and love letter to our complex relationship with the country, award-winning playwright Thomas Lim presents a brand-new play that challenges tradition. Join us for an unconventional National Day experience filled with laughter, contemplation, and untold stories. Decked in red and white, let’s celebrate this special day like never before!
Every 9th of August, we adorn ourselves in red and white, proudly display our flags, and serenade the air with patriotic tunes. The Red Lions gracefully descend, F16s roar across the sky, and tanks parade on our screens. The Kallang wave sweeps through the stands, emotions run high, and we continue our march from Third World to First.
For as long as memory serves, Singapore’s National Day has been synonymous with these traditions. But what if we could reshape how we commemorate this historic day? What hidden stories might emerge? Who would best represent us in the parade? And what melodies would echo in our hearts?
National Day Charade, a witty satire that doubles as a heartfelt homage to our complex relationship with Singapore, invites you to reimagine the familiar. Award-winning playwright Thomas Lim, known for insightful modern classics like Grandmother Tongue and Supervision, presents this brand-new play. Expect laughter, contemplation, and a National Day celebration like never before. Don your red and white attire, and join us for an unforgettable experience that challenges tradition and celebrates the place we all call home.
