Who: Dwayne Lau, 44, is a Singapore-based freelance theatre practitioner with close to two decades of experience in writing, directing and performing. He is the creator, director and main actor of Snakes And Ladders! – commissioned by the Esplanade for its Flipside festival. The interactive show, which is part musical and part game, runs from May 29 to 31.
