Cruel Summer
As part of the Singapore Fringe Festival, The End of Winter brings Oz to the Lion City in the form of a thought-provoking play this January. In collaboration with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay Siren Theatre Co (Australia), the performance focuses on bushfire-prone Australia and the increasingly warmer and shorter winters, posing the question whether climate change will erase the season altogether, leaving it to exist only in fairy tales, paintings, and historical accounts. Taking place on 8 & 9 January 2025 only, don’t miss this show that garnered Winner of Best Actor at the Sydney Theatre Critics Award and Sustainability Award at the Adelaide Fringe 2024.
