"A most remarkable achievement... a drama of racial grief,
generating the urgency of a thriller and the power of an archetype" - The Times,

LondonWinner of the London Fringe Award in 1992 for 'Best Production', Porcelain was playwright Chay Yew's startling debut that attempts to bridge the gap
between men who publicly claim they are straight and the gay men who know
better. An Asian immigrant into the UK, 19 year-old John Lee is an outsider in
the clubs of happy handsome gay men. Intelligent, with a future at Cambridge, he
is unable to deal with being jilted by a man he met while cruising the toilets.
As the play opens, John stands accused of brutally slaying his lover. The scene
of the crime: a restroom known for gay sex where the passion first ignited. The
story then unfolds through a series of inner voices, flashbacks and
spine-tingling confessions as we follow John in his desperate and tragic quest
for love among the lurid. Chay Yew’s Porcelain is a story of extremes: love and
hate, want and need, life and death, bigotry, loneliness, violence, homophobia
and the dark side of an all-consuming passion. Staged throughout the world to
furious critical acclaim, Porcelain makes its long-anticipated debut in
Singapore under the helm of the award-winning directorial duo, Goh Boon Teck and Beatrice Chia, and starring LIFE! Theatre Awards Best Actor nominees, Nelson Chia and Mark Richmond. This emotional journey promises to quicken or break your heart.
