An Interview with director Tracie Pang, and cast members Sharda Harrison and Benjamin Kheng on Pangdemonium’s ‘Force Majeure’
In its final season, Pangdemonium returns to a writer who has haunted stages for more than a century: Anton Chekhov. But this is not a museum piece, nor a reverent period revival. Force Majeure, written by Stephanie Street and adapted from Three Sisters, relocates the ache of Chekhov’s provincial dreamers into a contemporary landscape of global drift and fragile belonging. The soldiers and samovars are … Continue reading An Interview with director Tracie Pang, and cast members Sharda Harrison and Benjamin Kheng on Pangdemonium’s ‘Force Majeure’

Directed by Tora Hsu and adapted by Chen Yi-En from Tomohiro Maekawa’s 2010 Japanese script, this … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Theatre Review: The Sun by 4 CHAIRS THEATRE
Preview: Saree, These Are Just Jokes! by Sharul Channa
Stand-up comedy isn’t for the faint of heart, or the slow of wit. And if there’s anyone who has proven she has both the guts and the timing to thrive, it’s Sharul Channa. Just ask Harper’s Bazaar, which praised her fearless presence on stage, or Prestige Singapore, which called her success in the male-dominated comedy world proof that women are, in fact, very funny. She’s … Continue reading Preview: Saree, These Are Just Jokes! by Sharul Channa
