Description In this joyous production from W!LD RICE – named Singapore’s ‘sexiest theatre company’ by Lonely Planet - celebrated theatre and film director Glen Goei casts an all-male ensemble, revealing new insights into hidden identities, institutional marriage, and the politics of choosing a partner. Two wealthy single men lead double lives to escape from the boredom of conventional society and to court the attentions of two beautiful young women. But when things get messy they must grapple with the riotous consequences of their deceptions, and with the formidable Lady Bracknell.
