★★★★☆ Review: Little Shop of Horrors by Sing’theatre

Delightfully camp revival of Off Broadway classic brings both darkness and comedy to the stage. For anyone who’s ever owned or cared for a plant, you’ll know that many of them can be incredibly picky or particular about their food sources. But when it comes to carnivorous plants, it’s a whole other ball game, when you have to actively hunt down and provide live insects … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Little Shop of Horrors by Sing’theatre

Casino at 30: Why Scorsese’s Casino is One of His Best Movies

Photo by Jeremy Yap on Unsplash As the 30th anniversary of Casino approaches, Martin Scorsese’s 1995 masterpiece remains one of the boldest and most immersive depictions of power, greed, and vice ever committed to film. Though often compared to Goodfellas due to its similar storytelling structure, it stands apart in its grand scale and brutal honesty. Set in the high-stakes world of 1970s Las Vegas, … Continue reading Casino at 30: Why Scorsese’s Casino is One of His Best Movies

★★★★★ Review: pass·ages by Sim Yan Ying

Resonant work on ageing shows YY’s vision and true capabilities as a director given enough time and resources. Time is a cruel mistress. Regardless of where we come from, it is the one thing we are all subject to, eventually resulting in death.

★★★★☆ Review: The Last Gardener 《身后的微光》by The Theatre Practice

Passing on lessons of care and moving on through the humble act of gardening. With limited land and government flats with strict rules, Singapore’s housing estates rarely allow for enough space or freedom to grow one’s own garden.
