Mama Looking for Her Cat

Mama Looking For Her Cat is a play about the communication differences and the estranged relationship between a mother and her children. Written by the late Kuo Pao Kun in 1988, the play revolves around the theme of Singapore being a multiracial, multicultural and multilingual society. Two decades later, this poignant piece remains as powerful, as relevant and as emotionally hard-hitting as ever. We find out what's in store from Dato' Dr. Faridah Merican, the Executive Producer of KLPAC and lead performer of the play, and Benjamin Ho, the director and production designer of Mama Looking For Her Cat.
