Show Introduction

PLAYtime! is a theatre series produced by Esplanade for children between 3 to 6 years old. As part of March On 2022, the artists will present a work-in-progress showcase for feedback from families and peers as a key part of their work’s developmental milestone.

The work-in-progress showcases are opportunities for audience members to provide valuable feedback to the artists. With the responses in mind, this will guide the artists to continue their creative process leading to its full staging in Aug 2022.

Gor Gor and Mei Mei are stuck at home and bored. Unlike the past when they could go outdoors and play with their friends, they are becoming restless from having to stay indoors all the time. Even though mummy is working from home, she is swamped with endless online meetings, and they have to be quiet so that they do not bother her. With no iPad nor a chance to leave their home, where else can they go to have fun?

Join the siblings as they go on an adventure and discover new ways to play together. Using the power of imagination, they give new meaning to spaces and everyday objects in their home. Follow them as they travel through whimsical worlds and meet funny creatures and characters along the way as they play freely together within the confines of their HDB flat.
