Darn work is preventing me from doing anything on the internet at all! Chugging along is “Maid In Singapore”, written by Nadia Olisa. I’m not sure who’s the lead Filipino maid though, so I’m just winging it. Anybody want to correct it for me? This one is relatively short. Forgive me for the typos if I missed out any.
Dramafest is an annual combined inter-hall drama event, where halls of residence at NUS come together to put up six short plays which revolve around a central theme. In this interview, I take a look at the creative thinking processes, the trials and the tribulations that they had to face on the road to Dramafest.
Highlight quotes:
Eva, on Nadia and her scripts.
Last year at Dramafest she wrote a script as well, the one with the two dolls, the psychiatric one. Once again, it was fun to act, that was the feedback from the actors. It allowed for a lot of acting, for example, the Filipino maid [character], she’s Singaporean. I had a Filipino roommate an entire year, and I thought she was Filipino.
Musa, on Jia Ru’s [??] acting who played the Filipino maid
She’s very experienced. She was the lead for the last two hall productions. So she has a very good passion for acting. She actually more interested in Thai, and speaks Thai very fluently. When I told her she had to be Filipino, she was “No, I want to be Thai!”.
