The Studios 2018: A Good Death (Review)

The hard truths of Faith Ng’s latest play handles mortality firmly and frankly, while still ending on an emotional sting.  As much as we all know that death will come for us one day, it remains an immensely difficult and taboo topic to talk about.

Review: The Islands and the Whales dir. Mike Day

Located midway between Norway and Iceland, the Faroe Islands are a sight to behold, and home to a glorious history of folklore and hunting.

The Faroe Islands are jawdroppingly … Continue reading Review: The Islands and the Whales dir. Mike Day

Beautiful Like A Rainbow: True Colours Festival 2018

In the past week, the world lost one of its greatest minds with the death of Stephen Hawking.

But throughout his life, Hawking never let it define him, instead overcoming it with the … Continue reading Beautiful Like A Rainbow: True Colours Festival 2018

Review: Potong by Teater Ekamatra

Memory, mothers and manhood are placed on the chopping block in Teater Ekamatra’s first show of the season.

Review: The Third Murder dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda

Hirokazu Kore-eda is best known as a master of the intimate Japanese family drama, with slow burns of films like Nobody Knows and After The Storm. In his latest outing, The Third Murder changes up the formula a little, focusing instead on a legal thriller that has as many twists and turns as a typical film noir. Directed and written by Kore-eda himself, The Third Murder opens on a brief crime scene … Continue reading Review: The Third Murder dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda

Review: Alter Egos by Pink Gajah

There’s very good reason why Sharda Harrison has named her incubation platform ‘Magic Laboratory’ – sitting in the Harrisons’ front yard, sipping on drinks and chatting with other attendees, there’s some kind of magic that’s coursing through the air as we wait for their latest showcase to begin. Utilising their home turned studio, Pink Gajah presented Alter Egos this weekend, the culmination of a sporadic nine month … Continue reading Review: Alter Egos by Pink Gajah
