About


The NUS Social Work Honours Production – “Thesis” – is a drama production initiated by a dedicated group of social work students in their final (honours) year who are passionate about raising the profile of the social work profession, as well as generating public awareness about prevalent social issues that social workers commonly deal with.

The NUS Social Work Honours production consists of two original plays that are written and produced by our fellow social work students.

Synopsis


“Like the ripples of water from a falling stone…”
Actions bring consequences. But how far reaching are they exactly? And what consequences do they yield? Intense and highly unsettling, “Scarred” offers a chilling look into the insanity of domestic violence, and its traumatizing repercussions on those whose path it has crossed.

‘Just a little different’ charts the journey of a young girl’s acceptance of her father’s disabilities resulting from Asperger Syndrome. More than just a heartwarming tale, the play highlights the realities that people with disabilities face as they attempt to negotiate and find their own place in a society that is both frigid and unwelcoming, and that they too, are actually no different from us - with dreams, goals and ambitions of their own.
