Dramaturgy for TheatreWorks Singapore: Mayura

"Paper Thin"

Hello Mayura!

I enjoyed reading this version of your play. It is tighter and clearer, though still heavily dependent on technological aids. It is, however, a nice poem-for-performance and a commentary on gender, reality and stage reality, and unreality.

Go for a reading at this point, and listen to how the dialogue flows.

You may submit this to TheatreWorks after you are satisfied.
