Playwright, poet and painter Desmond Sim’s The Chair makes its return to the Singapore stage, this time as the launching pad and inspiration for original short plays written by NUS undergraduates developed from scripts created in a playwriting workshop by Sim. The short plays take audiences through the rooms in NUS Baba House.

Installed in the intimate setting of a restored century old Peranakan home at 157 Neil Road, will the chair continue to keep its secrets as a silent witness to tragic and triumphant moments in time or reveal its own complicity? Only an evening with the chair will tell.
