Description

Explore the complex relationship between performance and politics in this academic study from the Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series. This book offers a deep look into the English-language theatre scene in Singapore, examining how it serves as a space for struggle and resistance against state orthodoxy. Readers will learn how the cultural policies of the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) have shaped the arts landscape since the early 1960s. The text tracks the history of these policies and their direct impact on the creative community. It specifically looks at how the PAP utilized theatre and broader cultural initiatives as a central tool in its nation building programme. Written by Terence Chong, this work is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Southeast Asian studies, political science, and performing arts. It provides the necessary context to understand how government direction and artistic expression interact within a developing nation.
