PIP Says 

This is a text-based performance with lots of song and dance. Through the use of your imagination, the play explores the concept of uniqueness and encourages the development of a positive self-concept. This is a great play to learn of how we can always show appreciation and care for others and ourselves. 

Fatimah and the Magic Socks was first produced by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, Singapore as part of the 2017 PLAYtime! series. It was restaged under PLAYtime! 2020 and adapted for PLAYtime! 2024.
