On Charged
“Chong Tze Chien’s script…is rock solid writing. (It) serves up as an intimate understanding of the various complexities of race and the ways race intersects with other social divisions such as class. Chong does not treat his material with kid gloves and confronts difficult questions that are often buried below politically correct platitudes about race.”
—Adeline Chia, The Straits Times
“Charged does not disappoint. It tackles issues of race with brutal frankness and a refreshing lack of political correctness…The script is explosive yet sensitive and nuanced.”
—Kenneth Kwok, The Flying Inkpot
“One of the most incendiary - and necessary - plays of all time, Charged takes a raw and unflinching look at race relations in Singapore through the murder of a Malay soldier and the consequent suicide of a Chinese one.”
—Helmi Yusof, ‘The finest plays in 50 years’, The Business Times
On Poop!
“Poop! is heartfelt, beguiling and magical.”
—Adeline Chia, The Straits Times
“Chong Tze Chien has crafted a piece which is whimsical and spell-binding, yet at the same time heart-breaking. Poop! presents a vision of mortality quite unlike anything you’ve ever seen. This is a work which will provoke you in unexpected ways.”
—Ho Rui An, The Flying Inkpot
On Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
“From the rag-tag denizens who trawl its corridors to the lonely, broken spirits of the folks within, Chong Tze Chien spins a triple-bill tapestry that is exquisite in its detail and cogent in its effect.”
—Sangeetha Madhavan, The Business Times
