The Interview with SRT’s Romeo and Juliet

In their 9th edition of Shakespeare in the  Park, Singapore Repertory Theatre presents the timeless tragedy of star crossed lovers: Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is a personal favourite play for its producers, and also felt that it was probably the most relatable and familiar play for most audiences. In particular, they fondly recall Baz Luhrman’s film introducing millions to Shakespeare’s amazing story telling. Also, we … Continue reading The Interview with SRT’s Romeo and Juliet

Review: Hanuman by SRT’s The Little Company 2/4/16

There’s a pretty cool new superhero in town, and he’s NOT from Marvel or DC! We’re not really the intended audience of SRT’s latest production, but we ended up waking up bright and early on a Saturday morning to catch Hanuman, as we’d heard a lot about this collaborative piece of children’s theatre between SRT and UK’s Imitating the Dog. Hanuman is SRT’s The Little … Continue reading Review: Hanuman by SRT’s The Little Company 2/4/16

Review: The Effect by Pangdemonium [13/03/16]

  “Medicine is the new placebo, because none of it works anyway,” Adrian Pang quips in Pangdemonium’s latest production. And it’s none too timely either. The Effect is a perfect play for our hypochondriac, pill popping generation, where we inject ourselves with more and more additives as a solution to our problems. The Effect tells the story of Connie Hall (Nikki Muller) and Tristan Frey (Linden Furnell), … Continue reading Review: The Effect by Pangdemonium [13/03/16]

Review: Manifesto by The Necessary Stage & DRAMABOX [9/3/16]

  The Necessary Stage is no stranger to controversy, with its creative team detained by the government in 1987, as allegedly being part of a Marxist conspiracy. This is just one of the many incidents Manifesto alludes to in its two hour run. Devised by members of both The Necessary Stage and Dramabox, Manifesto involves some of the very best talents working in theatre today, … Continue reading Review: Manifesto by The Necessary Stage & DRAMABOX [9/3/16]

(Preview) The Effect by Pangdemonium Theatre

The Effect Pangdemonium is back to kick off their 2016 season with Lucy Prebble’s The Effect. This year, they’re finally doing a theme, and it’s *horrors of horror*: ‘love’. But don’t go thinking it’s going to be your run off the mill series of romantic plays (no Ryan Gosling from ‘The Notebook’ either). The Effect is certainly her to show that Pangdemonium is going to … Continue reading (Preview) The Effect by Pangdemonium Theatre

Hand To God

Hand To God – 8th February 2016 – Vaudeville Theatre. If you thought Avenue Q took naughty puppets to the limit, then you obviously haven’t caught Hand to God, which makes its onstage puppet shenanigans look tame by comparison. That’s right, this play features even more graphic puppet mayhem, swearing and isn’t afraid to ask the difficult questions about religion. First things first, we were … Continue reading Hand To God
