★★★★★ Review: Supervision (2025) by Wild Rice

2025 restaging of Thomas Lim’s play on surveillance, power and agency stands the test of time and proves itself a modern classic of Singapore theatre. When Thomas Lim’s Supervision premiered in 2018 as part of Wild Rice’s Singapore Theatre Festival, it established the then emerging writer as a promising new figure in the playwright’s circle, with the characters authentically Singaporean, unabashedly showcasing the ugly side … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Supervision (2025) by Wild Rice

★★★☆☆ Review: Statement Piece by Checkpoint Theatre

A statement on the universal idea of ambition and the lengths we’re willing to go to achieve it, but plot holes and lack of character depth leave us wanting. To become lost to history is to have lived a life insignificant, leading to so many people’s desperate climb up the ladder to ‘success’. But what happens when a member of the art world, in hot … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Statement Piece by Checkpoint Theatre

An Interview with Pangdemonium on staging the dramedy of confrontation in ‘A Doll’s House, Part 2’

Across the many great works of theatre in the literary canon, Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House possesses an iconic ending scene that ranks among the very best, with a door slamming shut as protagonist Nora Helmer walks away from her husband and children, choosing herself over the constraints of 19th-century domesticity.

★★★★★ Review: The Last Five Years by Singapore Repertory Theatre

Nathan Hartono and Inch Chua prove their mettle as musical theatre performers in this heartbreaking look at the deterioration of love. Time moves in strange ways when you’re looking back on the past. Rather than replaying chronologically, memories often intersect the good times and the bad, the imagined and the painfully real, mixing them all up into a messy soup of time gone by, something … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: The Last Five Years by Singapore Repertory Theatre
