2020. The worldwide pandemic has resulted in pandemonium, isolating millions and forcing the shutdown of everything from places of worship, to playgrounds, to plays.
Meanwhile, in Singapore, an unorthodox union of unusual suspects congregates online, on Zoom, on a mission…to stage a play!
Our motley menagerie of misfit virgin thespians decide to go the full monty and become a bona fide theatre troupe. But as they rehearse in socially distanced cyber safety, things become unsafely anti-social. Dirty laundry is aired, sacred secrets are shared, and the drama unfolds into...

Q: Will I receive a ticket to watch this play?
A: The play will be streamed through the SISTIC Live platform. A confirmation email containing your eticket will be sent by SISTIC upon making your purchase. Click on the e-ticket to access the video. Please note that the link will only be active on the date you have purchased for.
Q: Will I be able to watch the stream on multiple devices?
A: The link can only be used on one device at a time.
Q: If I log in after the play’s start time, will I still be able to watch it from the start?
A: To simulate an actual live theatre experience, the performance will start promptly at 3:00pm and 9:00pm.
Q: Will I be able to resume the stream from where I left off should there be a need to change my electronic device or if I get logged off?
A: As with any live theatre experience, you will return to watching the performance at whichever scene it is at. Please remember to fully charge your devices before the start of the performance.
Q: Why is the ticket priced at SGD$45?
A: From our research, many viewers will likely be watching the play as a pair or in a group. As such, multiple viewers will be enjoying the play at a bargain price.
Q: Are you streaming a pre-recorded performance, or will it be performed live?
A: Pangdemonium and the actors have rehearsed and filmed the play from their own homes using digital recording devices, all delivered through their own home Wi-Fi connections. With so many different technical factors to account for in each home, it is not feasible to deliver a livestream service that is stable at this time. By pre-recording the performance, we will be able to deliver an optimized production for your enjoyment where the audio/visual quality is not compromised. We will also be editing the footage from the recording to give you a more dynamic experience in online storytelling.
Q: Why are you streaming the play at a specific time once a day, rather than allowing on-demand viewing any time?
A: We want this to be a communal experience for our viewers. Hence, we are virtually re-creating the “ritual” of going to the theatre. Upon entering the SISTIC Live page, there will be a live chatroom available for viewers to chat and “mingle” before the play commences at 9:00pm. In addition, we will also have a limited number of tickets per performance - 350 tickets - just like you would have in the theatre.
