Timeline
In 2015, she co-founded Saga Seed Theatre, where she remains the Artistic Director. The company's roots lie in her belief that "new voices and stories need to be given a platform to be heard, and writers need a supportive environment to learn and grow."
Tay's earliest plays explored the subjugation of women under traditional Chinese patriarchy, as in the case of Water from the Well, which looks at female infanticide, and The Knot, which shows a woman escaping the bonds of marriage. Her later works consider family ties in broader terms, as in the case of Everything but the Brain deals with a woman whose physicist father is dying of a stroke, and Boom, in which a son attempts to persuade his mother to let allow her apartment to be demolished. A more recent interest involves the exploration of Singaporean history and myth, as seen in works such as Sisters – The Untold Stories of the Sisters Islands and Senang.
She worked with the Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT) as Resident Playwright from 2006 to 2009, also heading SRT's Young Company’s Writing Programme in 2012.
In 2000, her short play The Knot won the first prize in Action Theatre's 10-Minute Play Competition and chosen as a finalist for the Actors Theatre of Louisville's 10-Minute Play Contest. In 2006, her play Everything But the Brain won Best Original Script at the Life! Theatre Awards. In 2007, she attended an International Playwriting Residency with the Royal Court Theatre in London, which was where she developed the play Boom. Both Everything But the Brain and Boom have been selected as Singapore Ministry of Education O-Level and N-Level literature texts.
She earned early successes in fiction, winning the Golden Point Short Story Award for "Journey" in 1995 and the Weston Undergraduate Prize for Fiction for "The Story" in 1997. She ultimately graduated from Brown University in 1997 with a double degree in creative writing and economics, and spent seven years working as an economist at the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Jean Tay (born 1974) is a Singaporean playwright, best known for her plays Everything But the Brain and Boom. Her works have been performed in Singapore, the US, the UK and Italy. She is the Artistic Director and co-founder of Saga Seed Theatre.
