The Book
Drama Box 30 Keywords illustrates the history of Drama Box through keywords. The intention is to understand Drama Box and Singapore theatre and society in a more focused way based on these themes. In the process, the definition of the keywords in their various social and cultural contexts can be used to discuss Drama Box’s performances and activities. Perhaps more meaningful is that, conversely, the creative, groundbreaking theatre and social practice of Drama Box, positioned within the relevant era for a historicised examination, add new meaning to the keywords or expand their established categories.
“The company is not only a creator of theatre works, but also engages in reflection on the artist’s avant-garde spirit, manifested and developed into concrete action to deeply engage society and change the less-than-ideal status quo.”
— Quah Sy Ren, Editor
