Who makes up Spring Theater?
There are four of us behind the project: co-producer Wipavee Prathumpong, playwright Napak Traichareondej, production designer Suwalee Wichaiwutkun and me. We formed the troupe with the intention of creating stage plays that largely focus on children’s and women’s issues.

Can you tell us about this production?
Dekpiset was originally Napak’s thesis piece when she was studying at the Department of Dramatic Arts at Chulalongkorn University. The script, which was about an autistic boy and his mom, received positive feedback and we all loved it, so we decided to develop it into a full production. The proceeds from the performance will go towards several autistic children foundations.

What’s next for Spring Theater?
We’ll be focusing on charity plays about kids and women. I’m looking at doing Philip Ridley’s play Sparkleshark, which tackles the issues of teenagers. The problem is that four of us all have full-time jobs, so it might not be ready until late next year.
