★★★★★ Review: Disgraced (2024) by Singapore Repertory Theatre

Fear and self-loathing in Islamophobic America. There’s a common saying that one of the worst pieces of advice to give to anyone is to ‘just be yourself’. Indeed, as much as a country like the USA posits itself as one that welcomes individualism and uniqueness, there also often seems to be certain OB markers where the moment you step even a little outside of what … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Disgraced (2024) by Singapore Repertory Theatre

★★★★☆ Review: Paradise or the Impermanence of Ice Cream by Singapore Theatre Company and Indian Ink

Powerful theatrical reflection on what it means to lead a life well-lived. What lies after death? Much like a majority of religions, Zoroastrians believe in the concept of souls laid to rest in Paradise or Hell, depending on how good or evil one was in life.

★★★★★ Review: Taha by Singapore Theatre Company

Monologue on Palestinian poet’s life nimbly sidesteps overt politics to encourage hope and empathy in shared humanity. 8,000 kilometres away in the Gaza Strip, a terrible war rages on. It is the culmination of decades of conflict, where countless innocent lives have been lost, key infrastructure and history are stripped away by bombs, and the world watches on, helplessly bearing witness to the loss as … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Taha by Singapore Theatre Company

In that sense, the women who do find success in the military often seem to have to shelve their femininity, to become ‘one of the boys’ to fit in … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Grounded by Singapore Theatre Company
