Review: Orpheus In The Underworld by New Opera Singapore [29/7/16]

Opera has always been a bit of a divisive art form for me. Too often, I see it as something less accessible, and reserved for the most elite of audiences. New Opera Singapore has proved me wrong with this production of Orpheus In The Underworld, and I’m glad I got the chance to catch it. New Opera Singapore celebrated its 5th anniversary with another stellar … Continue reading Review: Orpheus In The Underworld by New Opera Singapore [29/7/16]

Review: International Friendship Day by The Necessary Stage [27/7/16]

The Necessary Stage has always been a mainstay of Singapore’s theatre scene, covering all kinds of topics from political pieces to collaborations with overseas theatre companies, making for some very interesting pieces. But what they also do regularly is community type theatre, often written with a very specific message in mind that addresses pertinent issues in society, such as When The Bough Breaks and post-natal depression. This … Continue reading Review: International Friendship Day by The Necessary Stage [27/7/16]

SFF 2016: Hawker Spotlight 2016 @ Lagoon Food Village

Over here at BCM Boy, we’re pretty familiar with East Coast Park, since we live so close and venture there for a run or just a day at the beach every once in a while. That’s why we were so excited when we found out about City Gas’ initiative to highlight some of their favourite stalls from Lagoon, and headed down on Sunday afternoon. Hosted … Continue reading SFF 2016: Hawker Spotlight 2016 @ Lagoon Food Village

Review: GRC by Teater Ekamatra

After Cooling Off Day in 2010 it only seemed natural that Alfian Sa’at follow up with another political play the next election year, this time in the form of GRC, first performed in December last year. GRC takes place in a Singapore turned upside down, where Malays are now the majority, and Chinese are a minority race, discriminated against for being suspected of their Chinese communist ties, and stereotyped … Continue reading Review: GRC by Teater Ekamatra

Review: Let’s Get Back Together by Red Pill Productions (10/7/16)

Red Pill Productions’ Let’s Get Back Together (or rather unsubtly, LGBT) was first staged in 2014, and W!ld Rice has revived it for the 2016 Singapore Theatre Festival with an all new cast, consisting Ezzat Alkaff, Ann Lek, Ruzaini Mazani, Eleanor Tan, Jo Tan and Zachary Ibrahim.

REVIEW: Ibsen:Ghosts

Last night, the German duo Markus&Markus left an indelible Margot-shaped impression in local discourse on the right-to-die with their riveting documentary theatre Ibsen: Ghosts. This certainly isn’t the first time Singaporean audiences have been confronted with moral questions about dying (think: the use of medical marijuana in Haresh Sharma’s Good People (2007)), and this moving piece with its dearly departed protagonist Margot suggests that one … Continue reading REVIEW: Ibsen:Ghosts
