Singapore, 1942. In a world where the Japanese occupation casts a long, oppressive shadow, a band of misfits unites for a clandestine undertaking: Mission Malligapoo.

What starts as a slapstick rebellion soon spirals into a hilariously dark journey of self-discovery and existential musings. As each character’s quirky past collides, they devise a plan that could either ignite a spark of hope or set off a chain reaction of chaos that might just take down the entire city.

Expect unexpected betrayals, spirited bickering, and moments that are both gut-wrenching and gut-busting.

Directed by the award-winning duo Ganesh Karthik and featuring a multilingual cast packed with talent and a penchant for the outrageous, Mission Malligapoo is not just a play; it's a riotous celebration of unsung heroes and their absurdly brave attempts at changing the course of history, proving that humour and hope can thrive even in the darkest of times.

A programme of 60 Connections – At Home and Afar, a year-long season of Singapore stories and international collaborations in celebration of SG60.
