Review: The Adventures of Abhijeet by Patch and Punnet

Singa-satire still falls flat. When The Adventures of Abhijeet was first presented the M1 Singapore Fringe earlier this year, I was unable to get a chance to catch it. Reading up about it, I found out how that version was pitched as a rollicking satire on xenophobia, while this newer, full-length one pulls back its claim to simply be “a story where migrant workers are … Continue reading Review: The Adventures of Abhijeet by Patch and Punnet

Following their mid-year production of original play This is What Happens to Pretty Girls, Pangdemonium rounds off the year with one heck of a splash with multiple-award winning musical satire Urinetown.  Gleefully taking the piss out of politicians, populism, “people power”, capitalism, corporate corruption, and musicals themselves, local audience members may find more than a passing similarity to home as Pangdemonium immerses them in a fictitious “most expensive city … Continue reading Preview: Urinetown – The Musical by Pangdemonium

M1 Patch! 2019: PROJECT Utopia《望眼吾托邦》 by The Theatre Practice (Review)
