Just in time for the return of international travel, be transported to Singapore with all its beauty, rigidity and insistent chaos for this funny, confronting, but ultimately uplifting story of love, abuse and survival – Blue Bones by nationally renowned performer and playwright Merlynn Tong.
When a woman finds scars left by her ex-boyfriend of many years ago etched into her bones, she is compelled to unpack her past and discover how he got under her skin.
Based on the true story of two teenagers’ romance as it blossoms then warps in the heat of bustling Singapore, Blue Bones is a one-woman show told with incredible honesty by Merlynn Tong. Combining multiple characters, Kung Fu and arcade games; Blue Bones is a whirlwind of love and naivety, violence and courage, with the wreckage felt across the years.
Against the backdrop of Singapore with all its beauty, rigidity and insistent chaos, Blue Bones will enchant and disturb, and perhaps even wake the stories dormant in your bones.
Blue Bones is presented in partnership with Metro Arts at the New Benner Theatre, Metro Arts.
