No Readgrets Book Club Discussion on 14 Sep 2024: Geng Rebut Cabinet (GRC)
Our next book club event of the year explores the Malay identity and racial relations in this third volume of the Collected Plays series by Alfian Sa’at.
Book Summary:
Alfian Sa’at explores the Malay identity and racial relations in this third volume of the Collected Plays series. This volume collects plays written and staged in Malay, and translated to English for the very first time.
In Nadirah, a young woman is shocked to find out her mother wants to marry a non-Muslim. In Parah, a group of students can no longer ignore the stereotypes and prejudices that divide the races, and the strain it puts on their friendship. In Geng Rebut Cabinet (GRC), we’re transported to an alternate reality where the Chinese are the minority in Singapore. And in Your Sister’s Husband, five sisters try their hardest to reckon with their superstitious, old-fashioned eldest to farcical ends, raising questions about black sheep, outcasts and sociopaths.
No Readgrets discussions are safe spaces to nurture conversations and connections over inspiring books and explorations beyond their pages.
This time, we will be discussing these plays from Collected Plays Three:
- Nadirah
- Parah
- Geng Rebut Cabinet (GRC)
- Your Sister’s Husband
