 FABULOUS REVIEW: PAN ISLAND EXPRESSWAY by TheatreWorks
Through the exchange between James and the interrogator and other paired characters, PIE makes several blistering comments on current racial policy, the Internal Security Act among other extensions of the local government.
However, this is balanced by PIE playwright Chong Tze Chien's careful act of self-reflexivity: when the characters harangue James for poor scripting, the audience is invited to replace the characters for the actual actors and playwright of PIE.
PIE demonstrates why theatre's growing self-awareness of how it mediates and invents perspective removes the possibility of the audience ever standing apart from the process called drama.

In ‘Spoilt’, the main character disappears a third of the way into the play, and the rest of her story is told by the other people in her life.
‘Pan-Island Expressway’ is about a playwright who has written a play, also called ‘Pan-Island Expressway’, which is set on the P.I.E. — the many levels of reality here threaten to swamp the audience, but like an expert conjurer Chong pulls a single strand clear of the confusion to end on a triumphant note.
These segments are clearly meant to provide an insight into the creative process, but one is left wondering why the plays couldn’t simply be left to speak for themselves.

And you thought those National Education lessons taught you everything you needed to know about our motherland.
With razor sharp wit and an almost painful sense of irony, PAN ISLAND EXPRESSWAY(PIE) ripped apart the illusions our young nation has built up within a short span of 30 progressive years.
Every symbol of national pride so familiar to us was subverted by clever wordplay and skillful plot maneuvers - our vulnerable national mythologies left exposed as these signifiers were metamorphosised beyond recognition.
