Review: Acting Mad by The Necessary Stage

Exemplary, no holds barred look at mental health in the theatre industry. As much as mental health has entered common conversation these days, it remains one of the most misunderstood conditions in the workplace, seen as some kind of weakness, a burden to employers or worse, a fake excuse to get out of work. But what about in the theatre industry, where actors are constantly … Continue reading Review: Acting Mad by The Necessary Stage

Review: We Were So Hopeful Then by The Necessary Stage

An attempt to highlight the invisible people key to a production’s success. In any theatre production, those deemed worthy of praise are often limited to cast and creatives. But even beyond them, there still exist people who are present in every production, yet never receive praise or acknowledgement they deserve. To highlight these invisible people then acts as one of the key goals of Ellison Tan’s We … Continue reading Review: We Were So Hopeful Then by The Necessary Stage

N.O.W. 2019: Nimita’s Place – Staged Reading (Review)

The tragedy of Partition leaves a haunting impression in this page to stage adaptation. When Akshita Nanda debuted her first novel last year, little did we expect to see it receive a stage adaptation just a year later.
