Jan Edwards for Serangoon Road





Recently Jan Edwards worked on the HBO Asia and ABC co-production, Serangoon Road, as Set Decorator (episodes 6 -10).

The 10 part television drama series was shot in Indonesia, Batam Island and Singapore.  Directed by Peter Andrikidis and Tony Tilse.  Production Designer, Herbert Pinter.

Working with an Australian, Singaporean and Indonesian crew Jan decorated period Singapore streets, bars, fishing villages, various Chinese and Western interiors and more, shot on location in Batam and Singapore and the studio backlot and studios on Batam Island.  

Serangoon Road is a period piece set against the backdrop of 1964 - 65 colonial Singapore where political and racial tensions are escalating as the British pull out.  Serangoon Road unfolds as a mystery series but there are greater political overtones about the emergence of a culture from old to new.

Based around Aussie Sam Callaghan (Don Hany) who spends most of his time helping friend Patricia Cheng (Joan Chen) with the private detective agency she now runs after her husband was killed while working on a case.

Serangoon Road begins Sunday 22 September 2013 on ABC1, 8:30 pm.
