What is the Last Madame about?

According to its show information page on Toggle, the show is about two women, one living in 2019 and another in the 1940s. Joanne Peh plays the 1940s brothel boss alongside talent such as Fiona Fussi and Jeff Chou.

The show is about a banker in present-era Singapore stumbling upon the sordid nature of her family’s legacy in the form of the brothel. The story would be told in both the present day and in the bygone era, the two times linked by their strong female protagonists, just like in AS Byatt’s Possession.

According to a report from TODAY, the head writer and director Jean Yeo said that “This story is about female empowerment which is defined very differently in a different period.” She actively differentiated The Last Madame from Game of Thrones, and she said that there would be authentic depictions of life in a brothel during the appropriate era, but would not be risque.

Jeff Chou, who partnered with Joanne in her steamy scene as an investigator said that he was also nervous and fearful, but that their professionalism and the production team helped them get through.
