Fragments of Tuah is one of the sharper theatre entries in Esplanade’s The Studios 2026 season. Esplanade lists the Mark Teh and Five Arts Centre production for 24 to 26 July 2026 at Esplanade Theatre Studio, with tickets from SGD34 before booking fees.
The timing matters because Esplanade&Me early-bird specials run until 7 June 2026, and The Studios 2026 Season Pass remains available until 26 July at 3pm while limited tickets last. That gives theatre regulars a short window to decide whether they are buying one production or committing to the wider season.
Dates, Tickets And Advisory
The show runs at 8pm on 24 and 25 July, and 3pm on 26 July. Esplanade lists a 1 hour 30 minute runtime with no intermission, and notes that post-show dialogues will follow the 24 and 25 July performances.
Standard tickets are listed at SGD42, while limited concession tickets for students, NSFs, seniors and PWDs are listed at SGD34. The advisory is R18 because the production includes content that some audiences may find culturally or religiously sensitive.
- Dates: 24 to 26 July 2026.
- Venue: Esplanade Theatre Studio.
- Runtime: 1 hour 30 minutes, no intermission.
- Language: English and Malay, with English surtitles.
- Admission age: 18 and above.
Why It Is Worth Tracking
Fragments of Tuah is a documentary theatre work set to original music, revisiting the mythologised figure of Hang Tuah and the ideas of loyalty, identity and power that still sit around that story. Esplanade notes that the production won multiple BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2026 honours, including Best Original Script and Best Director.
For Singapore audiences, this is useful as a Southeast Asian theatre pick rather than a touring spectacle. It should appeal to viewers who like archival performance, political memory and theatre that asks how official stories are built.
Season Pass Context
The Studios 2026 Season Pass gives 20 per cent savings when buyers purchase at least one ticket to each of five applicable productions: Fragments of Tuah, Blind Runner, Handle with Care, MULTIPLE BAD THINGS and MONSTRESS. The package is valid for up to four tickets per production, while limited tickets last.
