What is the new play White Pearl about?

White Pearl tells the tale of Clearday™, a start-up cosmetics company based in Singapore that successfully developed into a leading cosmetics brand in just under a year. Now seen as a world-renowned sensation, the company gets caught in high water when a working draft of their latest advert for skin cream leaks onto the internet. The video goes viral in the worst possible way and the company finds itself in the biggest global PR nightmare since Pepsi’s controversial Kendall Jenner ad.

Whitewashing takes front and center in White Pearl

As the YouTube views continue to climb day by day, outrage begins to plague social media while news outlets begin covering the story. Clearday™ can’t be seen as a racist corporation and they scramble to take the video down on all platforms before America wakes up to see their shameful faux pas. Will they manage to save their big reputation in time or will it be a dark day for Clearday™? White Pearl is a thought-provoking play that will spark debate on how far companies should go in their pre-screening process before they green light a project that could be damaging to the way their brand is perceived.
