Frequently asked questions

What is Eureka Day?

Eureka Day is a satirical comedy by American playwright Jonathan Spector. It follows five members of a progressive private school’s Executive Committee as they attempt to agree on the school’s response to a mumps outbreak.

Is Eureka Day a comedy?

Yes. Eureka Day is a fast, sharply observed ensemble comedy. It turns an increasingly tense school committee meeting and a disastrous online parent forum into a night of outrageous, painfully familiar laughs.

Is Eureka Day a children’s show?

No. Although the play is set in an elementary school, Eureka Day is a contemporary comedy for adult audiences. The Singapore production carries an advisory for some mature content and coarse language.

Do I need to be a parent to enjoy Eureka Day?

Not at all. The school provides the setting, but the comedy comes from recognisable adult behaviour: difficult meetings, passive-aggressive conversations, clashing personalities and people who cannot agree.

Is Eureka Day about vaccination?

A mumps outbreak and disagreement over the school’s vaccine policy trigger the events of the play. However, the larger story is about communication, consensus, personal beliefs and what happens when a community cannot agree on what “doing the right thing” means.

Does Eureka Day take a side in the vaccination debate?

The play does not reduce its characters or their beliefs to a simple argument. Its comedy comes from watching people with deeply held convictions attempt, and repeatedly fail, to understand one another.
