Through the use of projected images‚ carefully selected music and descriptive dialogue‚ challenging aspects of life can be represented. An image we see early on in the play is Singapore Harbour burning down in 1942 when the Japanese first invaded. This is shown as Bridie and Shelia are discussing their experiences on the boats. This shows the ignorance of the British as they did not evacuate the women
