I loved how the playwright did not endeavour to resolve emotional tensions in her work. Written in 2007 following the property market boom and its corresponding complications like the phenomenon of the en bloc sale, Jean Tay handles her characters' respective arcs with care and consideration. Her overall motifs are real, genuine, and yet artsy and creative without losing that distinctive Singaporeaness. I especially appreciate the grounded quirkiness of the overall play: somehow it doesn't get more Southeast Asian than writing about the supernatural!
