Playing With Fire Audience and Media Reviews:
Directed by Claire Wong, Associate Artist Cheyenne Alexandria Phillips’ playwriting debut premiered to sold-out houses across its 12-show run. It was praised by audiences for shining the spotlight on underrepresented, local perspectives on the ongoing climate crisis, and for digging deeply into the inextricable entanglement of Singapore’s unique socioeconomic position, its industrial past and present, and the imminent repercussions on our people.
“The debut play by Cheyenne Alexandria Phillips explores an alternate perspective on environmentalism… A vulnerable willingness to show the other side of the conversations makes for a thought-provoking play,… strikingly simple but effective.”
– The Straits Times
“Playing With Fire delivers on its premise and beyond. It’s not so much a balanced perspective, as it is a human perspective… Yes, there’s an environmental message there – and it also exhorts viewers to consider the lives and humanity of those in such a reviled industry. Regardless of where you stand on the issue, one thing remains true – that it’s about people.”
– Marcus Goh
