The Bride Always Knocks Twice, The Theatre Practice



A runaway bride escaped to a house, opened through a door that could be seen by women only.  There, she met women of different ages, and from different periods of time.  
This play co-written by  Jonathan Lim (English theatre) and Liu Xiao Yi (Chinese theatre) looked at the challenges faced by women, now and then. The script itself did not say anything new.  One reason could be that the playwrights were dealing with too many characters on stage and did not have time to flesh out each individual.

The ensemble of 8 delivered assured performance, under the directorship of Kuo Jian Hong. 

The play was billed as a multi-lingual play - is it necessary to do so?
