A DATE WITH DWAYNE
If you haven't decided what to do for your valentine, take him or her along for a date with actor Dwayne Lau in a one-man show that brings you on a heart-felt tour of break-ups, unrequited love, friendship and family bonds through songs and skits. Lau plays all sorts of characters, from a freshly dumped army boy to a florist longing for love, bolstered by cameos from Siti Khalijah, Josh Cheah and Lau's sister Daphne June Lau. This cosy and intimate take on Valentine's Day chooses to celebrate love in all its forms - not just treacly romance. Directed by Judee Tan.
