Jointly presented by Nine Years Theatre and SCCC, First Fleet is a play inspired by Thomas Keneally's novel The Playmaker and other materials on the convict transportation to Australia.
Set in 1787, First Fleet is about the journey of the First Fleet of the British empire which sets sail for Australia with a group of convicts aboard to establish a penal colony.
Along the way, the Governor instructs one of his lieutenants to rehearse a play with the convicts, with the hope of using the power of theatre to rehabilitate them.
The winner of the Production of the Year award at the Straits Times Life Theatre Awards 2020, the play explores the relationships between theatre and humanity.
This is an online stream and the performance will be conducted in Mandarin.
When: 15-29 May
