A long hidden secret rises to the fore— and with it, cracks begin to appear in the familial ties between a mother and her three daughters. Are the bonds between them strong enough to weather this impending crisis?  

Forced into retirement due to her ailing health, a veteran film and TV actress finds herself missing the glitz and the attention. These days, actress Lin Li Qing occupies her time thinking up ways to battle boredom, and nagging at her three daughters for not spending enough time with her. The eldest, Shi Qi, is embroiled in a secret divorce; the second daughter, Shi Lin, is a respected stage actress fighting self-doubt and a stagnating career; and the youngest, Shi Jie, tires of her mother’s constant nagging to find a life partner.

In a bolt from the blue, Li Qing wins a prestigious acting award, thrusting her back into the spotlight and also onto the theatre stage with Shi Lin. Staged conflicts become reality as mother and second daughter clash time and again, dredging up decades of hurt and dragging Shi Qi and Shi Jie into a whirlpool of suppressed emotions.

Not long after, the family gathers to celebrate Li Qing’s 70th birthday. Outside, the rain clouds converge ominously…

Nine Years Theatre (NYT) is a Mandarin theatre company embedded in multicultural Singapore, and it regards Chinese culture as the foundation of its work rather than the centre of its practice. NYT presents mainly Mandarin productions, as well as multilingual and inter-disciplinary works occasionally, all with English
supertitles (a brief summary of the plot projected onto a screen above the stage during a performance). NYT’s work is recognised for being artistically grounded, culturally challenging, for touching on universal themes and care for humanity. Therefore, it has always connected with audiences from diverse backgrounds through its work.
