SHOWTIME HIGHLIGHTS<\/h1>\n

The story smoothly weaved through past and present as the main theatrical symbol \u2013 the scarf, was passed between the two actors characterising the younger and senior version of our protagonist – Amah Lucy. Through the musical portrayal, we vicariously experienced the struggles of a senior, who is suffering from dementia. The musical creatively expressed the emotions associated with reminiscing the past using iconic golden era songs. To build up the theatrical conflict, this was contrasted with the frustrated emotions from the outsiders who perceived such actions as being trapped in the past. In actual fact, who are we to stop her from just reliving the best moments of her life?<\/p>\n

\"Remember<\/p>\n

The emotional journey of Amah Lucy tugs at the heartstrings of the audience as we saw how her hallucinations, mood swings and poor memory gradually thinned the patience of her son. Despite her child-like behaviours, her intentions were truly rooted in her unconditional love for her family. She remembered the mooncakes she promised her late husband before he departed on his ill-fated flight. She could barely remember her way home but she still managed to cook her son\u2019s favourite fried rice.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s relive the moments of the meaningful musical production back in 2018.<\/p>\n
