Review: The Importance of Being Earnest (2020) by W!ld Rice

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 8/2/20) Stellar revival of W!ld Rice’s acclaimed all-male version of Oscar Wilde’s magnum opus. Concerning itself with an exaggerated version of Victorian high society, where ‘style, not sincerity, is the vital thing’, The Importance of Being Earnest remains one of the world’s most beloved comedies, surrounding the misplaced importance over one’s name and background, characters are exaggerated stereotypes, find themselves in absurd … Continue reading Review: The Importance of Being Earnest (2020) by W!ld Rice

Review: The Long Goodbye 小儿子 by Story Works X Dreamland (Huayi 2020)

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 7/2/20) Tackling dementia with both humour and heart. One of the most terrifying things about dementia itself, besides its effects, is the sheer length of time it can possibly affect a person for, eating away at their mind for years till the day they die, left an empty husk of their former selves. The burden then falls onto a patient’s carer as … Continue reading Review: The Long Goodbye 小儿子 by Story Works X Dreamland (Huayi 2020)

Review: Almost 55 乔杨 by City Contemporary Dance Company (Huayi 2020)

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 9/2/20) Age is no barrier to Qiao Yang in this dance-biopic of her life.  While most of the narrative heavy-lifting in biopics is often done via text, for a show about a dancer’s life, it makes perfect sense that the story is told not by words, but by her body instead. First performed in Hong Kong in 2019, City Contemporary Dance Company’s … Continue reading Review: Almost 55 乔杨 by City Contemporary Dance Company (Huayi 2020)
