This event is over.
Join us at our post-show feedback sessions at the Esplanade Theatre Studio on 25 Feb, 4 and 11 Mar 2023, Sat at 2.45pm. Meet director Cherilyn Woo and/or dramaturg Sindhura Kalidas, and share your thoughts about Us with them. We look forward to seeing you there and appreciate your support in our ongoing efforts to enhance the PLAYtime! experience.
Making friends, falling out, and making up again.
Side by side, two by two,
Giggle, joke, play, and chatter.
But what happens when two becomes three?
Can two best friends make room for another?
Peek into the lives of two best friends as their world is turned upside down when another friend wants to play too.
Through movement, music and fun, Us explores loneliness, understanding, empathy and love. Discover the importance of friends and how simple acts of kindness can change the world.
Us was first presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay in August 2019 as part of PLAYtime!.
