\u201cSolidarity\u2026 is a radical posture.<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Paulo Freire <\/p>\n\n\n\n

School principal Mrs. Mary Lim-Rodrigues is a Nice Lady\u2122. A paragon of good intentions, she believes that every decision she makes is for the best. Except she presides over a sharp-edged system that makes life feel impossible for students like the brilliant but troubled Shan, whose tender young self thrives in the margins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One horrible day, a devastating incident binds these two lives. Suddenly, Mary is confronted by the fine line between help and harm, and her moral faculties are put to the test. What happens when she can no longer rely on the way things have always been done? Can she be good at her job, and also a good person? And is there a right way to live, learn and die?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powerful and thought-provoking in equal measure, Michelle Tan\u2019s play is a story about rupture, irreversible loss, and what it takes to fix the things and people broken by all the good intentions in the world. Then, it is a call for revolution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First commissioned by Singapore Repertory Theatre, The Radicalisation of Mrs. Mary Lim-Rodrigues<\/em> was developed at Centre 42, followed by a work-in-progress reading as part of the 2024 Singapore International Festival of Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Duration: approximately 1 hour 40 minutes (with no intermission)
Recommended for patrons aged 12 and above<\/p>\n\n\n\n
