Salsa salsa salsa!


A Play by our very own med classmate!
"April, May and June, three older women suddenly alone in world, had been living together for longer than they cared to remember before finally moving out two years ago for good, or so they thought.

When Anne, an old friend on her deathbed calls and asks to see them one last time, they find themselves back in Singapore, together again, and with one small problem: they don't remember who Anne is.

In the meantime, Anne has hired a salsa teacher to teach her friends to salsa, so that they can let her relive the joy of the dance through them. Their lessons seem easy enough but the reunion become complicated as old wounds are revealed, secrets are revealed and lunacy sets in. Through it all, the beat of the dance goes on, and memory and friendships whirl and turn, as inextricable as dancers on the floor. "

It was a very good play, especially for Chen seong, since this is the first time his play is being produced publicly.. I'm amazed at his talent! So folks, look out for this budding, talented playwright! I'm sure there'll be lots more great work to come..

I thought the story was pretty good, especially the characters who were all female, and very real indeed! They kinda reminded me of my mum & her friends..gossiping, giggling together..And it shows grandmothers and mothers can and should have their fair share of fun too! I've decided..no one's gonna stop me from becoming a happy, flirty grandma who still silly talks with her friends at 70!;) i mean, really, who wants to grow up unhappy & miserable? There's enough sadness in this world as it is already!
