Review: The Son by Pangdemonium!

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 22/2/20) Sometimes, love just isn’t enough.  For a play that’s titled The Son, it’s interesting how it ends up becoming a show that reveals far less about the eponymous son than it does about the people surrounding him. In Pangdemonium’s latest production, Nicolas (Zachary Pang), a troubled 16-year old, seems to be undergoing problems far bigger than the usual dose of teenage angst. His recently … Continue reading Review: The Son by Pangdemonium!

The Banter: An Interview with the Director and Cast of Singapore Repertory Theatre’s The Lifespan of a Fact

It’s hard to deny that the truth is getting increasingly harder to find. Not just because of the prevalence of fake news and outright falsehoods, but even in the idea of half-truths, where facts are flubbed over for convenience’s sake and for a better story. Following on from productions such as The Truth and Caught in 2018, Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT) opens their 2020 season with The … Continue reading The Banter: An Interview with the Director and Cast of Singapore Repertory Theatre’s The Lifespan of a Fact

Review: Love In The Lion City – An Intimate Evening with Dick Lee

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 14/2/20) Dick Lee serenades an intimate audience with unreleased songs and more for Valentine’s Day 2020. As far as intimate music venues in Singapore go, Cool Cats at the NCO Club is a pretty chill one, with a relaxed atmosphere and a comfortable space ideal for a romantic night out on Valentine’s Day. And with Dick Lee leading the concert, we knew we’d … Continue reading Review: Love In The Lion City – An Intimate Evening with Dick Lee

Review: Fika & Fishy by Patch and Punnet

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 15/2/20) ‘Adult-oriented’ show about a friendship between pets stuck at crossroads between crass humour and an attempt at genuine emotion.  Remember waking up on weekends as a kid, switching on the TV and catching those Saturday morning cartoons? Patch and Punnet’s Fika & Fishy is a little like that, complete with its own opening song in the form of a rap by omarKENOBI … Continue reading Review: Fika & Fishy by Patch and Punnet

Preview: Four Horse Road 四马路 2020 by The Theatre Practice

When The Theatre Practice produced Four Horse Road back in 2018, the project was a sprawling, massive undertaking. Taking its cues from immersive theatre and heavily vested in a firm foundation of research of the actual Waterloo Street to do justice to its history, the promenade theatre production was unlike anything the local theatre scene had ever seen before. Now, they’re bringing the remarkable production back for … Continue reading Preview: Four Horse Road 四马路 2020 by The Theatre Practice
