Review: Ola Bola the Musical by Enfiniti Productions (Kuala Lumpur)

A nationalistic musical with high production value that celebrates Malaysia in all its glorious diversity. KUALA LUMPUR – There are two things that Malaysians will always get fired up about: food, and sport. Taking the latter subject and putting it into the arts, it’s completely possible that Malaysians too can feel a sense of nationalistic pride upon seeing it brought to life onstage. Based off … Continue reading Review: Ola Bola the Musical by Enfiniti Productions (Kuala Lumpur)

Review: The Bee by Theatresauce (Kuala Lumpur)

Absurd, dark social satire leaves a lethal sting with Theatresauce’s final show of their 2017/18 season. KUALA LUMPUR – In a world as dark and uncertain as our own, lines of morality are often blurred in the name of media sensationalism. A vigilante borders on villainy when he takes the law into his own hands, and one is forced to wonder – are crimes committed … Continue reading Review: The Bee by Theatresauce (Kuala Lumpur)

Review: Diva to the Death by Bite Me Productions

An amazingly fun show with a hilarious, laugh-a-minute script and outrageous characters well-performed by the talented cast. Potential spoilers up ahead! Theatrical dining experiences are still a pretty new concept to Singapore, but with Bite Me Productions’ spectacular debut, they’ve already set the bar pretty high for other shows to follow. From the madcap imagination of Chestnuts creator Jonathan Lim comes Diva to the Death, as he pits jazz … Continue reading Review: Diva to the Death by Bite Me Productions

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)

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2018: Displaced by Ground Cover Theatre (Review)

Ground Cover Theatre tackles the refugee crisis in an intimate, polished piece brimming with theatrical magic. In Displaced, Ground Cover Theatre boldly tackles the topic of the refugee crisis in a play that tells of three women from different time periods who all escape to Canada.
