"Inside every fat virgin is a thin schoolgirl. There is no sadness like the inner sadness of fat virgins and skinny schoolgirls. There is no sadness like the sadness of a dreamy schoolgirl trapped inside the body of a fat virgin."Session 6 of Open Roads will be held on Saturday 2 Oct 2010, 2pm - 4pm, Substation Classroom 1 and we will be looking this time at Three Fat Virgins Unassembled by award-winning playwright Ovidia Yu.
The play, an insightful but playful commentary on what it means to be a woman in contemporary Singapore society, is available from public libraries and major bookstores in the collection "Fat Virgins, Fast Cars and Asian Values".
The full text is also available online for free public access at:

The playwright has generously agreed to join us for the session and we have also managed to get a recording of a 1992 production of the play from TheatreWorks that participants will be able to take a look at as part of our discussion.
To register, email us at admin@inkpotreviews.com. The fee is $5 which you can pay on the day itself.
