Review: Platform Series – Journeys by Generasia

Generasia gives Erwin Shah Ismail and Kimberly Chan a platform to showcase their range of talents in two solo performances.  One of the biggest gripes we’ve always had with the theatre scene is that as wonderful and skilled the current generation of actors is, there’s been a severe lack of platforms to truly let new, emerging talents have their time in the spotlight and show … Continue reading Review: Platform Series – Journeys by Generasia

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: Does This Work For You? by The Nervous System (Review)

The Nervous System gives theatrical form to the voice of the oppressed in this promising project about workplace discrimination. There’s a reason they call it ‘the daily grind’ – work can be a drag, and even more so if you’re at the bottom, pushed around by superiors and the system. It’s no wonder then that there’s plenty of room for complaints to be made, and … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: Does This Work For You? by The Nervous System (Review)
