As part of Checkpoint Theatre's 10th anniversary celebrations, we're launching our inaugural book publication, “Voices Clear and True: New Singapore Plays Volume 1”!

This is the first volume in a series of play collections published by Checkpoint Theatre that showcase the exciting work of a new generation of the following Singapore playwrights: Christine Chong, Kenneth Chong, Lucas Ho, Dan Koh, Cheryl Lee, Laremy Lee, Faith Ng and Shiv Tandan.

Their plays were written under the mentorship of acclaimed dramatist Huzir Sulaiman, Checkpoint Theatre’s Joint Artistic Director, and produced by Singapore theatre companies.

The plays are by turns lyrical and hilarious, and are marked by their intellectual rigour, emotional honesty, and refined technique. These plays are evidence of the burgeoning renaissance in Singapore playwriting.

The collection of critically-acclaimed plays includes wo(men) and The Good, the Bad, and the Sholay, which were both nominated for Best Original Script in the Straits Times Life! Theatre Awards.

“Voices Clear and True: New Singapore Plays Volume 1” is edited by Huzir Sulaiman, Lucas Ho and Laremy Lee, and includes an introduction by Huzir Sulaiman.
