For Parents with bigger kids
The Son
“This is a story of one family–and, in fact, a story of so many families–struggling to save a lost loved one, where sometimes love is not enough.” | Photo: Pangdemonium
While this brutally play is targeted towards parents with older kids, it is a timeless story that seeks to explore one of society’s pressing concerns—mental health—especially among youths.
16 year old Nicolas, a once lively boy becomes silent, sullen and secretive in face of his parents’ divorce. His behaviour becomes erratic as he is forced to go back and forth between them. He further spirals into emotional and mental despair and feels that “life is weighing him down”. Is the the stage of “just being a teenager”? The story unfolds further as Nicolas’ parents step in to take desperate measures.
Directed by Tracie Pang.Written by Florian Zeller and translated by Christopher Hampton.Starring Adrian Pang, Nazray, Serene Chan, Sharda Harrison, Shona Benson and Zachary Pang. NOTE: Advisory 16 (Mature Content).
