Huayi 2018: Blood & Rose Ensemble by Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group (Review)

The Taiwanese theatre group ramp up the soap opera potential in Shakespeare through their farcical and madcap adaptation of the Bard’s history plays.  Think it’s hard keeping up with the Kardashians? Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group will have you know that they’ve got nothing on the House of Plantaganet. Directed by Wang Chia-Ming, the entirety of the War of the Roses is charted in a loose, 2-hour adaptation of … Continue reading Huayi 2018: Blood & Rose Ensemble by Shakespeare’s Wild Sisters Group (Review)

Review: This Beautiful Fantastic dir. Simon Aboud

From a foreigner’s perspective, there’s a unique quality to certain Britflicks that take their charm to the next level. In Simon Aboud’s This Beautiful Fantastic, that charm is milked for all its worth and appeals utterly to audience members hungry for the quintessentially twee indie film missing in their life. Throughout its runtime, This Beautiful Fantastic appears to continually try to outdo itself with its weirdness, beginning … Continue reading Review: This Beautiful Fantastic dir. Simon Aboud

Bao Ga Liao: Bao Makers Cafe and Bakery Moves To Their New Home At Jiak Chuan Street

We’ve been patrons of Bao Makers ever since they first launched at Jalan Besar in 2015. No doubt one of the better cafes in an already packed cafe district, we were surprised to see them pack up and leave for Jiak Chuan Road at the end of last year. So of course we had to head down and see what this new venue had to … Continue reading Bao Ga Liao: Bao Makers Cafe and Bakery Moves To Their New Home At Jiak Chuan Street

Review: Teater Normcore by Ridhwan Saidi (Kuala Lumpur)

Dark humour is rife in these riveting playlets that highlight social issues. KUALA LUMPUR – The term normcore stems from an anti-fashion movement that revolves around purposefully choosing to wear plain, unremarkable clothing. But in the two plays that make up writer Ridhwan Saidi’s Teater Normcore Double Bill, these initially normal looking settings quickly give way to settings far darker than they initially let on. … Continue reading Review: Teater Normcore by Ridhwan Saidi (Kuala Lumpur)

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
