Bukit Chandu Roving Play


Stagehandz is back with rousing applause !
After staging 30 successful performances at Reflections at Bukit Chandu, Stagehandz is back bigger and better!

Starting with a brief account of the events that happened at Bukit Chandu and the surrounding area during the Japanese invasion in 1942, students will be lead by actors from Stagehandz, who will conduct an engaging drama performance.

This tour allows students to re-live the Battle of Bukit Chandu, one of the fiercest battle fought by the Malay Regiment on this very hill before the fall of Singapore on 15 February 1942.

Students will be drawn into the play through face-to-face interaction with the actors. Some scenes include a monologue by a Malay Regiment officer, a battle between him and a Japanese soldier as well as a sharing session with a "war survivor". In between scenes, alternative groups of students will be brought into Gallery 1, where a guide will narrate to students the history of Malaya, the Askar Melayu and the battle that took place 60 years ago in Pasir Panjang.
