"The Vault: The TRUE Awards" is a devised performance responding to Lim Chor Pee's "A White Rose at Midnight".

Black Box @ 42 Waterloo Street

The Vault: The TRUE Awards comprises a performance-response and a reading of excerpts from the original text.First staged sixty years ago in 1964, Lim Chor Pee’s A White Rose at Midnight centres around disillusioned English-educated scholar Lee Hua Min, and his tumultous relationship with his flatmate Wong's sister, the Chinese-educated ex-nightclub singer Ching Mei. Written and staged in the uncertain, volatile years pre-independence, A White Rose at Midnight was a humorous, witty and prescient portrait of both a soul and a nation divided.A White Rose at Midnight was first performed by the Experimental Theatre Club at the Cultural Centre Theatre in National University of Singapore, and received a partial dramatised reading in 2014 as part of Centre 42's lecture-performance, The Vault 1.1 – Nineteen Sixty-Four.This year, seven students from the National University of Singapore's Theatre &amp; Performance Studies TS3103 Theatre Lab will present a fully-staged response to A White Rose at Midnight. In accompaniment to this performance-response, excerpts of the original text will be read by selected alumni of the Theatre &amp; Performance Studies programme.***Join us to experience this performance-response and celebrate the nominees of the TRUE Awards.[NOTE: A minimum donation of $1 is needed for Eventbrite registration, but if you are unable or don't wish to make a donation, please write to info@centre42.sg to register for this event.]
