Staged by the Singapore Nanyang Overseas Chinese Middle School’s (now Hwa Chong Institution) Theatre Society, the play was performed to commemorate the school’s 40th anniversary. Such commemorative magazines celebrated various milestones and events. They provide an insight into the inner circles of these groups. These magazines also documented the cultural activities that the masses were involved in, as well as literary works written by union members and plays put up by alumni associations and the Singapore Arts Theatre. The bi- or tri-lingual nature of some publications also shows the kind of intercultural interaction that was taking place.
