Yay for yet another long weekend! On top of all the Easter-related activities (eating and drinking included), why not check out the 10th anniversary of Recalling Mother or Asia’s longest fashion runway? There’s also 90s-themed market at Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, a pool party featuring one of Italy’s best DJs, and an art walk through the historic neighbourhood of Potong Pasir.
Recalling Mother by Checkpoint Theatre
A groundbreaking play written by and starring Claire Wong and Noorlinah Mohamed, Recalling Mother is back for its fourth edition, this time presented by Checkpoint Theatre. This celebration of the joys and challenges of motherhood has been revisited, updated, and developed with each staging (in 2006, 2009, 2015, and 2016), in parallel with Claire’s and Noorlinah’s relationship with their respective mothers over the years.
Recalling Mother is running from 24 to 27 March 2016 at Esplanade Theatre Studio. Tickets are priced at $35 and are available via SISTIC.
