The award-winning theatre director on making her acting comeback on the Ch 5 cancer drama BRA, wardrobe malfunctions, and dealing with working-mum guilt.
8 DAYS: You’re on the Ch 5 drama BRA, your first acting gig in 15 years. During this time, you’ve been busy directing theatre. How does it feel to be in front of the camera again? Did you fight the urge to shout “Cut!” all the time?
BEATRICE CHIA-RICHMOND: (Laughs) I’ve been behind the scenes for so long that in the two weeks leading up to the shoot, I started to panic ’cos it felt really scary to be on the other side of the lens again. I spoke to a few of my actor friends who calmed me down (laughs). They reminded me that I’m doing the show ’cos I love acting. So it was nerve-wracking ’cos I felt like a fish out of water. But once I got into it, there was no looking back. And no, I never felt the urge to yell “Cut!” (Laughs)
What made you decide to get in front of the camera again?
I got the offer after I just finished directing the 2016 National Day Parade. For about six years, I had been working quite continuously as a creative director on national projects — I directed two NDPs [in 2011 and 2016] and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 28th SEA Games [in 2015]. I felt that I needed to take a break from that. And I was afraid that I would forget how to act. So I wanted to go back to where I started, which is acting.
