Progress. Progress. Progress. Boom tells the story of an elderly woman and her property agent son in Singapore, who are
struggling with the government wanting to reclaim their family home along with the pressure from their neighbours. An idealistic civil servant, Jeremiah, is facing the greatest challenge of his career—persuading a reluctant corpse to yield its memories and accept the exhumation of its body in an effort to put in a new building. This is a tale in which humanity gets left behind for the advancement of society, and the grief we feel from the loss of any kind.
Written by London-based Singaporean, Jean Tay, Boom was conceptualised at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 2007 and developed and staged by the Singapore Repertory Theatre in September 2008. It was nominated for Best Original Script for The Straits’ Life! Theatre Awards in 2009.
