According to organiser, Ovidia said "that was not what I wanted and this was the 1st time that I have watch it". <div><br /><div>Can you imagine the script writer who was absent throughout the whole re-phrasal? She should have communicated her ideas well enough to the director to prevent this. What an embarrassing moment to the director and organizer.</div><div><br /><div>I thought it was rather unfair to the actresses &amp; actors and especially the director who had put in sleepless nights &amp; effort practicing and rephrasing.</div><div><br />So many supporters/family members turned up empty handed.... they came but couldnt watch this play. anyway.. I have no chance to watch it too... and here's the info from the net:<br /><br />“Dead Rites”<br /> Written by Ovidia Yu. Directed by Lionel Chok.<br /> Starring Rebecca Birch, Irene Ong and Ebi Shankara<br />Singapore's new policy to ensure its MPs (Material Presences) are not outnumbered by NMPs (Non-Material Presences) comes as a shock to spirits queuing for Hungry Ghost Month visas... Will our undead citizens continue to haunt us--or uproot themselves to go where the afterlife is freer and easier?</div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6774444383972186359-9197384389351476134?l=botaiji.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Johnthe Luinoreply@blogger.com0
