In London’s West End 2018: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Palace Theatre (Review)

The international phenomenon proves perhaps magic truly does exist within the theatre.  LONDON – To the casual outsider, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child feels like an overrated play. After all, following seven (conclusive) books, eight movies (not including the Fantastic Beasts series) and one massive fandom, does J.K.

With an … Continue reading In London’s West End 2018: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Palace Theatre (Review)

Huayi Festival 2019: Dear John by M.O.V.E. Theatre (Review)

A musical soundscape through unorthodox means. When John Cage’s controversial 4’33 premiered in 1952, never might the avant-garde composer have imagined the sheer impact he might have had in the field of music theory. Infamous for being four minutes and thirty three seconds of ‘silence’ as an orchestra stands still onstage, the work reflects Cage’s interests in Zen Buddhism, and his magnum opus epitomizing the theory … Continue reading Huayi Festival 2019: Dear John by M.O.V.E.
