Regarded amongst the most iconic of Singaporean theatre, Titoudao is back again for an amazing 5th staging that promises a refreshing treat with the same endearing taste! After sweeping the inaugural LIFE! Theatre Awards, including the coveted Play of the Year, this highly-acclaimed masterpiece has gone on to wow audiences from Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou to Cairo.

Tracing the life story of Madam Oon Ah Chiam, Titoudao portrays the struggles of this petite lady with big dreams, fighting against despairing personal states of poverty, gender inequality and shadowed marital vexations. Above all, invisible shackles from the diminishing state of her craft will confront all the strength and zeal that culminate in this inspirational tale of the person behind her most iconic character.

The stage shifts between Mdm Oon’s painful backstory and her mesmerizing Wayang performances as Titoudao. Against her vibrant comic male facade, the impassioned rendering of the actress’ ordeals highlight the unspoken currents beneath a time of rapid change and progression. Between the present theatrical form and traditional Wayang stage, the play sparkles with a mark of resilience as it presents the beauty of dreams and tradition.

Featuring Audrey Luo as Titoudao with a team of enchanting cast consists of Trey Ho, Timothy Wan, Josephine Tan, Daphne Quah, Rei Poh, Benita Cheng and Trev Neo. Like love, history, passion and culture, Titoudao will continue to touch the hearts of generations past, present and future.

Titoudao is running from Thursday, 5 March to Saturday, 14 March at the Drama Centre Theatre.
