Behind The Wall

A production by Gateway Arts

Behind The Wall is available as a digital programme for school, corporate and group bookings from January 2023.

Contact us at grace@gatewayarts.sg for more information.

Synopsis

Adapted by award-winning playwright Jean Tay and directed by Samantha Scott-Blackhall, Behind The Wall follows Tommy, a little mouse who ventures beyond a mysterious wall in the perfect city of Pura Pura, where he meets animals that talk and look different, like Al the Elephant, a worker from a faraway land. Behind The Wall shows us that, while people may look and sound very different, we are all the same on the inside, and just as capable of kindness.

This 30-minute film is designed for families with children 7 to 12 years old, and is accompanied by a 20-minute post-show activity video and digital activity booklet, which provides insights into the lives of our migrant worker friends.

Production By:
Behind The Wall is based on the book “Who’s Behind That Wall?”
Written by Kim Eun-Hee and presented by HealthServe Limited.
