Man to Woman

Synopsis:
Playwright Benjamin Teh's literal, pedestrian approach to the project's brief perversely results in one of the most bizarre, if not truly absurdist pieces in Man to Woman. Aimee Olivia plays the originally male author, describing the outrageous and hilarious process by which he made himself female for the purposes of writing his woman-themed play. - http://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/review.php?id=6450

Thank You Come Again

Synopsis:
about a Singaporean woman who snags men to escape unhappy situations. She is not a very likeable character, but her cool description of her husband's usefulness, and her complaints about yappy' people, are darkly funny, until it dawns on me that she's a bit yappy herself.
