4. Rediscover one of Singapore’s oldest street by going on a theatrical adventure
Singapore’s longest-standing theatre company The Theatre Practice is staging a 2-hour immersive theatre piece called “Four Horse Road”, which features stories inspired by real events from the past and present, going as far back as 1870s to allow audiences a nostalgic glimpse into Singapore’s rich multicultural heritage and history.
Literally translated from Waterloo Street’s commonly known Chinese Name ““四马路” (which actually means Fourth Road), the show imagines the life of fictional denizens that once lived, studied, and worked on the street, from Jewish families to Catholic nuns and priest, prisoners to school boys and girls, bringing alive various forgotten landmarks, including Nantina House and the Bras Basah Gaol where Singapore Management University now stands.
The biggest and possibly most intricate attempt yet, Four Horse Road will be unlike any theatre show you’ve seen before, as you’ll literally walk through multiple sites located across three buildings – Centre 42, Chinese Calligraphy Society and The Theatre Practice. A play that transcends both time and physical constraints? Consider us intrigued!

Four Horse Road will run from 4 to 28 April across three heritage buildings.
