School isn't easy for anyone, whether you're a student or a teacher. And with exams coming, nobody's life will be the same.

Pushed and pulled in different directions, Lilin is a young teacher trying to make it through yet another term while helping her students. Battle-worn Sec 3s Ming, Omar and Reyansh are trying to handle the challenges in school and at home with bravery and grace. But in a system that values specific kinds of success, can their efforts be recognised?

Playwright-composer weish is hailed as “one of the city-state's most acclaimed musicians” (UK's New Musical Express), creating soundscapes that are "hauntingly emotive and superbly alluring" (Bandwagon). With this astonishing new work, she forges a contemporary landscape of storytelling unlike any other musical. The acclaimed Huzir Sulaiman directs a stellar ensemble cast comprising Adeeb Fazah, Audrey Luo, Ethel Yap, Genevieve Tan, Joshua Lim, Krish Natarajan, Nadya Zaheer, Rebekah Sangeetha Dorai, Shahid Nasheer, Teoh Jun Vinh, Tiara Yap and Tricia Tan.

With a powerful, affecting script, and incredible new songs, this landmark work by Checkpoint Theatre is an unforgettable dive into life in a Singapore school, with all its delicate joys, complicated heartbreak and unexpected beauty.
