Common Room
2026-07-16 - 2026-08-02 | Drama Centre Black Box, National Library Building (Level 5), 100 Victoria Street, #05-01 National Library Building, Singapore 188064, Singapore, Singapore, 188064, Singapore
When two young adults get the rare opportunity to share a living space of their own in Singapore, it’s all too easy to fall into mundane patterns of domestic responsibility. But within these rote routines lies the magic of profound late night conversations about one’s place in the world, spontaneous deep dives into exes and lost friends, and musings about what the future holds.
Common Room by ants chua is a celebration of the emotional, physical, and relational work of queer living. Directors Claire Wong and ants chua reveal a rare insight into the domestic spaces that allow us to be the most vulnerable, and the tender efforts we make to grapple with our past mistakes and our present selves. This intimate two-hander sees actors Genevieve Tan and Siti Sara Hamid delicately unfold the layers of identity, of queerness, and of vocation.
An exploration of loving, living and dreaming amidst the relentless rhythm and rupture of daily life, Common Room is both familiar and new; at once poetic and irreverent. Amidst the ongoing rupture and repair of friendships, despite the impossibilities and failures of language, how can we continue reaching toward each other?
