After two successful presentations, The Necessary Stage’s Theatre for Seniors is back with Encore III: Family Knots.
Featuring a series of short plays mostly conceived by the participants, Encore III: Family Knots depicts different aspects of family life and the challenges of living in multi-racial and multi-lingual Singapore.
Be prepared to laugh, cry and be tickled by the witty, humorous and emotionally charged performances by the members of Theatre for Seniors.
