REVIEW: Twentysomething Theatre Festival – Fresh Plays Week 1

This is our review of the three Fresh plays featured this week during the Twenty Something Theatre Festival. This week’s selection was dark, featuring  dead boyfriends, suicidal parents and rape victims. Yikes. Nonetheless, despite the heavy material, the plays were overall enjoyable, and were successful at showing that our millennial generation very much has a voice and issues worth playing out onstage. For all my criticism, … Continue reading REVIEW: Twentysomething Theatre Festival – Fresh Plays Week 1

The inaugural twenty something theatre festival began this week, and we were really excited to cover it! We marathoned all four plays today, and we’re going to review the headline play here, and the Fresh plays in a separate post.

REVIEW: Gentle Bones 10/6/16

Gentle Bones, aka Joel Tan is just 22 years old, and he’s already managed to have two sold out shows at the Esplanade (when Les Miserables is playing next door!) It’s impressive, to say the least, how many fans he’s garnered over the past 4 years he’s been active since he first released his hit single ‘Until We Die’. Since that first song, he’s been … Continue reading REVIEW: Gentle Bones 10/6/16

REVIEW: Ghost Writer by The Necessary Stage [9/6/16]

    Following the success of Manifesto, the Necessary Stage returns to present Ghost Writer, a multimedia performance that seamlessly combines dance, theatre, music and videography to create a rich visual and sensual experience. Ghost Writer takes inspiration from Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, drawing on both his work and life. It’s difficult to sum up what exactly Ghost Writer is about, considering its nature as a piece of almost abstract physical theatre. Ghost … Continue reading REVIEW: Ghost Writer by The Necessary Stage [9/6/16]

An Insight to Churn Creamery

Churn Creamery 4th June 2016 Churn has been open for about 9 months now, and this is the first time we decided to drop by. Some photos of their ‘puffones’ have been floating around the Internet, and we’re suckers for interesting revolutions in dessert (or just suckers for dessert in general) Considering that Tanjong Pagar is now home to countless bingsu places, it’s nice to … Continue reading An Insight to Churn Creamery

The Blue Man Group

  The Blue Man Group is an utter mystery, combining comedy, theatre and dance into a single energetic performance. They’ve done well on Broadway and Las Vegas for 25 years, despite their confusing premise. I first heard about them watching an episode of Arrested Development, way back in the early 2000s, so when I found out they were performing in Singapore for the first time, … Continue reading The Blue Man Group

The Interview with SRT’s Romeo and Juliet

In their 9th edition of Shakespeare in the  Park, Singapore Repertory Theatre presents the timeless tragedy of star crossed lovers: Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is a personal favourite play for its producers, and also felt that it was probably the most relatable and familiar play for most audiences. In particular, they fondly recall Baz Luhrman’s film introducing millions to Shakespeare’s amazing story telling. Also, we … Continue reading The Interview with SRT’s Romeo and Juliet
