Awakening one’s sense of wonder and curiosity with the power and whimsy of games. LONDON – Londoners have been documented to be some of the fastest walkers in the world. But in constantly rushing from place to place, one often ends up completely forgetting to stop and smell the roses, so to speak, with plenty of details we miss even in our most frequented of places. … Continue reading Underbelly Festival Southbank 2019: 80 Days – A Real World Adventure by Fire Hazard Games (Review)

M1 Patch! 2019: PROJECT Utopia《望眼吾托邦》 by The Theatre Practice (Review)

The Practice Space becomes a lab to experiment and play with the concept of ‘Utopia’. English writer Thomas Moore was the first person to write about utopias, or an imaginary perfect world. Can such a place exist in real life, or is it doomed to forever be a land of fiction? With The Theatre Practice’s PROJECT Utopia, five international artists then come together to distil that question … Continue reading M1 Patch! 2019: PROJECT Utopia《望眼吾托邦》 by The Theatre Practice (Review)

M1 Patch! 2019: A Dog’s House《野良犬之家》by M.O.V.E. Theatre (Review)

Cycles of abuse can be a real bitch to break out of in this harrowing, pitch black play. It’s not often that you leave a play feeling utterly corrupted by how dark it is, and if any company has done it, it’s Taiwan’s M.O.V.E. Theatre. Directed by Fu Hong-Zheng and written by Lin Meng-Huan, A Dog’s House is pitch black in tone, as we enter the home of … Continue reading M1 Patch! 2019: A Dog’s House《野良犬之家》by M.O.V.E.

Review: Hossan-AH 50! – Love You LEONG Time! by Double Confirm Productions

A last hurrah for the Singapore Boy in this sincere celebration of a life in entertainment. Surefire ways to tell you’re getting on in age – when people call you ‘lao ban’ (boss) instead of ‘xiao di’ (little boy), and when you realise it’s probably more appropriate to call the taxi driver ‘brother’ instead of ‘uncle’. Where these might spark a mid-life crisis in some, … Continue reading Review: Hossan-AH 50! – Love You LEONG Time! by Double Confirm Productions

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

But what The Little Company’s Fantastic Mr Fox does that takes it one step further is combine high production value and strong … Continue reading Review: Fantastic Mr Fox 《了不起的狐狸爸爸》by The Little Company
