Three Fat Virgins Unassembled by Ovidia Yu

We had eight participants for this afternoon's session of Open Roads and joining us as our special guest was Ovidia Yu, the playwright of Three Fat Virgins Unassembled.




The next meeting for Open Roads will be on Saturday 16 Oct 2010, 2pm - 4pm, Substation Classroom 1 and we will be looking at multiple award-winning writer Alfian Sa'at's Homesick. Thanks to W!ld Rice, we have a copy of a performance of the play which we will be showing excerpts from as part of our discussion.

"Rises to the occasion admirably ... endearing and engaging in its earnest intelligence and soaring ambitions." —The Straits Times

The play which explores the meaning of home through the story of a Singapore family quarantined during the SARS crisis, was first staged in 2006 and subsequently received a nomination for Best Original Script at the Life! Theatre Awards.
