SINGAPORE – Wild Rice’s satire of middle-class prudery G*d Is A Woman was the big winner at The Straits Times Life Theatre Awards 2024, taking home Production of the Year and a first win for playwright Joel Tan for Best Original Script.

The ensemble play impressed the judges with its ambition and sophisticated use of comedy in satirising liberal angst and bourgeois hypocrisy.

Its premise had caused some concern with the Infocomm Media Development Authority, which oversees arts licensing, and required several sit-downs with the authorities to clear.
