Set in modern-day Singapore, the play revolves around the Tan family, Matriarch Gan Guek Neo, her three adult daughters and how family secrets unravel them. Quek and Soh discuss how the play was conceptualised, a new generation of actors keen on exploring their Peranakan heritage, as well as how choreography and a live cello performance will be incorporated into the production.
