In 1932, the People's Party brought to Thailand a revolution that changed the country’s absolute monarchy to democracy. Many years later, a group of friends gather in September to celebrate the birthday of an old ceiling fan in their apartment. Someone has disappeared into thin air. The apartment is tangled up in information overload and nonsensical conversation. Someone who resembles the missing one returns. In the middle of the rapid change from the outside. In just the blink of an eye, the present becomes the past.
Four Days in September (The Missing Comrade) explores the span of thirty years of Thai history through various kinds of disappearances. The play displays the life of ordinary Thai people that have been forced to stay blind and silent for so long.
In 2020, the new 2020 People's Party calls for reform. Many years later, a group of friends still gather in September to celebrate a birthday for the old ceiling fan. Something is about to be born?
