Review: The Old Woman And The Ox by The Second Breakfast Company

The Old Woman and the Ox leaves us unmoved and perturbed at its lack of dramaturgy. It’s not unheard of that even the most experienced of theatre companies will still manage to produce a show that falls far short of a watchable production, and so it should come as no surprise that younger companies may fall prey to the same mistakes as well. In The Second … Continue reading Review: The Old Woman And The Ox by The Second Breakfast Company

Kalaa Utsavam 2018: Disco Sheela and Other Indian Superwomen by Sharul Channa (Review)

Not all superheroes wear capes – sometimes they wear a sari.  While we’re very much used to hearing Sharul Channa let loose her signature pottymouth, in a changeup from her usual style of comedy, Sharul attempts to break new ground with Disco Sheela and Other Indian Superwomen. Distinct from her previous performances, Disco Sheela sees the leading female comedian take on brand new characters across four monologues, highlighting the … Continue reading Kalaa Utsavam 2018: Disco Sheela and Other Indian Superwomen by Sharul Channa (Review)

Review: Journey To Nowhere (Southernmost – One Table Two Chairs Project 2018)

A well-executed, thought-provoking diatribe on the proposed future of local arts. As an “arts festival for the future”, experimental theatre company Emergency Stairs’ Southernmost – One Table Two Chairs Project 2018 naturally chooses to buck the trend of a typical arts festival, acting a critique of the usual and taking on an artist-driven, process-centric approach, comprising primarily of workshops, demonstrations, open forums, and a single … Continue reading Review: Journey To Nowhere (Southernmost – One Table Two Chairs Project 2018)
