PRESS RELEASE

It is with regret that SRT has to announce the postponement of Blackbird which was slated to run March 6-20th.

Blackbird is a very challenging play with a cast of two, that demands exceptional actors to make successful.

After two weeks of rehearsal, Patrick Teoh, who played the male protagonist, felt that he could not deliver what was required to do justice to the role. This has come as a huge disappointment to everyone involved with the production.

“As a professional actor, this has been the most challenging role I have ever taken on. The dream role for many actors is to eventually play Hamlet at least once in their career, because of its complexity. Blackbird has the potential to achieve that kind of appeal for an actor. I am sure audiences will appreciate and enjoy this as well once they’ve seen the play,” says actor Patrick Teoh, adding “I am hugely disappointed in myself that I could not deliver a performance that would do both the show and SRT proud. I appreciate all that SRT has done to help me and feel bad for letting SRT down.”

Teoh, who has an extensive acting resume, was most recently seen in the Singaporean film Blue Mansion.

Instead of rushing to find a replacement actor, SRT has made the decision to postpone the show to September in order to allow director Tracie Pang, Emma Yong and the new cast enough time to ensure that Blackbird is of the high quality that SRT audiences have come to expect.

All patrons who have purchased tickets will be contacted by SISTIC by next week and will be given a full refund.
