A young woman, Gabrielle, is pursued by two very different men. One is an older, married author, and the other, a young, mentally unstable heir to a pharmaceutical fortune. Both have flaws which are immediately obvious. The married Charles can be dismissive, while Paul is threatening and possessive. As Gabrielle chooses one over the other, it becomes evident that the spurned lover is unable to handle his loss. In French with English subtitles.

Today, 7.30pm. Alliance Francaise Theatre, 1 Sarkies Road. Tickets at S$7.20 from Sistic. www.alliancefrancaise.org.sg

Dust: A Recollection TheatreWorks presents a play that explores an expanded definition of the term "ghosts", based on the Hokkien short story in Chen Swee-Teng's Bak Teng (Diced Meat) written in 1979. Unfolding over decades within a flat, it begins with a couple who persuaded a young man to sell his apartment. In the ensuing sounds of demolition and concrete debris falling, an old man awakens and comes to life. Dust: A Recollection offers an artistic tribute to the living, dead, neglected and forgotten spectral landscapes of modern Singapore and is conceived, written and directed by visual art collective Vertical Submarine.

Until Saturday, 8pm, 72-13, home of TheatreWorks on Mohamed Sultan Road. Tickets at S$38, S$25 for senior citizens and S$10 for students/NSFs. Call 6737 7213 or email tworks@singnet.com.sg to book. www.theatreworks.org.sg
