Timeline
Michael Chiang (born 27 October 1955 in Muar, Malaysia) is a prolific playwright and screenwriter in Singapore.
He is known as "Singapore's most famous and successful playwright".
As a child, he made frequent visits to the cinema, and developed a taste for the Hong Kong classics of the 1960s.
He graduated from the National University of Singapore with majors in English Literature, Chinese Studies and Philosophy.
Chiang's foray into playwriting began in 1984, when he was an entertainment journalist and editor for The Sunday Times.
He was invited to submit a light-hearted play for the Singapore Arts Festival's Bumboat production because he wrote humour columns for the newspaper.
The result, Beauty Box, about beauty queens and shopping malls, was savaged by critics but popular with audiences.
The playwright of Army Daze (1987) and Beauty World (1988), Chiang had his plays were collected in and published as Private Parts and Other Playthings in 1994 by Landmark Books and Play Things in 2014.
The book was so popular that he was convinced by TheatreWorks to do a stage version of it in 1987.
Nine years later, Army Daze was adapted into a movie.
In 1988, singer-songwriter Dick Lee approached Chiang to write a Singapore musical.
With Lee's title and opening number, Chiang wrote Beauty World, which toured internationally.
From 1990 to 2009, Chiang was the editorial director of Mediacorp Publishing, which publishes 8 Days.
In 1992, Chiang became a Singapore citizen.
Like Army Daze, it has been restaged a number of times, including a made-for-television version in 1998.
In July 2013, Chiang returned to the stage with his first production in 14 years, High Class, which was staged at the Drama Centre Theatre, followed by a rerun of Army Daze.
In October 2014, Chiang began his stint as editorial director of The A List, the National Arts Council's fortnightly arts magazine.
Born in Muar, Malaysia to a schoolteacher and housewife, Chiang came to Singapore at the age of 11 and attended the Anglo-Chinese School, where he was placed in the care of his eldest brother Dr Chiang Hai Ding.
He is the youngest of seven siblings, including an adopted younger sister.
It will be restaged in November 2015 at the Victoria Theatre, with Lee directing the musical.
As the editorial director of Mediacorp Publishing, Chiang popularised the trend of putting celebrities on magazine covers.
At the height of his publishing career, Chiang was running more than 20 magazine titles.
Chiang also wrote the screenplay for Our Sister Mambo which was released in July 2015 to celebrate Cathay Organisation's 80th anniversary.
