Unlocking memories through objects 🗝️ Claire Wong, director and co-playwright of Escape to Batam, shares her journey of unearthing memories sparked by personal items from her father’s past. Among these items, it was his handwritten letters recounting life in Batam during the Japanese Occupation that became the foundation for this deeply personal story of family, loss, and resilience. checkpointtheatre’s Escape to Batam is happening 21 – 24 Aug at Esplanade as part of The Studios 2025.
