Venue:
Singapore Repertory Theatre

This production of Robert Askins’ Hand to God was an International collaboration between Singapore Repertory Theatre and a British designer and director. The SRT company is composed of Singaporean, Malaysian, Chinese and ex-pat practitioners, and has an ethos of inviting overseas creatives into the fold.

As a design process this required collaboration across two continents and differing time zones, which was demanding in terms of the flow of information and emphasised the importance of design drawing as a method of communication. The production benefited from a creative affinity between the scenic workshop and I, which was a product of luck and happenstance. The setting for the play was a Sunday school for much younger children than we ever see in the piece, to offer an innocent counterpoint to the extreme demonic visions and explicit content offered by the narrative.
