SYNOPSIS
A classic boy-meets-girl story in modern day Singapore. Or is it? Without Reason explores the challenges of an inter-racial relationship where a Chinese girl and a Malay boy struggle to overcome cultural differences, reconcile religious beliefs, and manage the expectations of friends and family. This coming-of-age story takes you on an unforgettable quest for love and the search for identity.

Production History
Without Reason was originally written and devised under the mentorship of Buds Youth Theatre programme 2014, and received further developmental support from Centre 42. It was subsequently presented as part of the M1 Peer Pleasure Youth Theatre Festival in 2017 by ArtsWok Collaborative, in collaboration with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay.
