Off Centre (One Play Series)

Off Centre is The Necessary Stage's landmark play in the history of Singapore Theatre. It is best remembered for bringing mental illness and its patients' plight to the attention of the media and the public.

The play uses effective techniques of flashbacks; moving the characters in and out of their schizophrenic and normal selves to elicit the rational and emotional experiences of two schizophrenics, Vinod and Saloma.
