Drama Box is a non-profit, professional theatre company located along Trengganu Street in Singapore’s Chinatown. Founded by a group of members of the National University of Singapore (NUS) Alumni in 1990, it is helmed by artistic director Kok Heng Leun. The history of Drama Box is a microcosm of Singapore’s contemporary theatrical history. Along with other local theatre companies such as The Necessary Stage and Theatreworks, Drama Box is part of the emerging wave of contemporary theatre companies that have been influenced by Kuo Pao Kun, a prominent dramatist who played a leading role in shaping Singapore’s theatrical landscape after 1965.
