To be staged at The Chamber in The Arts House, which used to be Parliament House, the production revolves around the trials and tribulations of a theatre company trying to put on a play called Mei Mei's Bras.
HE MAY be a Member Of Parliament (MP) but that has not stopped Mr Baey Yam Keng from producing a cheeky political play crammed with double entrendres. The piece is called The Cabinet, no less, and is written and directed by his wife, Lim Hai Yen.
To be staged at The Chamber in The Arts House, which used to be Parliament House, the production revolves around the trials and tribulations of a theatre company trying to put on a play called Mei Mei's Bras.
The three key characters in the play are the stage manager (SM), production manager (PM) and marketing manager (MM). These acronyms are, of course, familiar ones in Singapore's political scene, being used to refer to Senior Minister (Goh Chok Tong), Prime Minister (Lee Hsien Loong) and Minister Mentor (Lee Kuan Yew).
In the play, the characters make many references to Singapore politics, even when they seem to be talking about theatre.
For example, the brand of the cabinet, an actual cupboard that is used as a prop in the play, is GRC. This is ostensibly short for 'good, reliable and cheap'. In Singapore politics, it refers to Group Representation Constituency, or a multi-seat constituency.
The stage manager, or SM, says: 'A good and reliable cabinet is never cheap.'
