Review: Promises Promises at Southwark Playhouse

Southwark Playhouse has yet to disappoint us with its keen curatorial sense for musicals, and producing the Tony Award nominated Promises Promises was certainly a good choice. Promises Promises is set in 60s New York, where ambitious, but overlooked employee Chuck Baxter is lucky enough to own a one room apart. This draws the attention of his higher ups, who routinely request to borrow his room to entertain … Continue reading Review: Promises Promises at Southwark Playhouse

Review: A Faerie Tale By Wide Eyed Theatre

Despite a ten year gap from their last show, Wide Eyed Theatre’s seventh production received an almost sold out run. Taking place in the home of Wide Eyed Theatre, a small shop house in the heart of the Nakano district in Tokyo, this unsuspecting place played host to a dark, modern fairy tale for adults. Even though the play was in English, it was heartening … Continue reading Review: A Faerie Tale By Wide Eyed Theatre

M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Under My Skin by Alessandra Fel

It’s an interesting phenomenon how most children aspire to match or surpass their parents, only to reminisce and wish for their childhood once more the moment they become a parent themselves. There seems to be an irreconcilable rift between a parent and his or her child – in spite of being of the same flesh and blood, they’ll never live in the same world or … Continue reading M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Under My Skin by Alessandra Fel

M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Pretty Butch

Pretty Butch is a title that’s confusing at first – is it saying it’s a show about butches who’re pretty? Or a particularly ravishing short haired, ‘mannish’ woman? And can a butch be considered ‘pretty’, if society has already deemed the word ‘butch’ to exclude being pretty? In fact, in attempting to interpret its very title, director and playwright Tan Liting’s Pretty Butch is already making us think … Continue reading M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Pretty Butch

M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Fight! Palast #MembersOnly by Peng! Palast

If I had to categorize or label Fight! Palast, I would consider it to be less of a performance and more of an experience. Minutes into the show, I found myself moulting out of my role as an audience and engaging with the Peng! Palast trio as just another participant in a communal activity with three hosts. One likes cooking, another likes exercising, the last … Continue reading M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Fight! Palast #MembersOnly by Peng! Palast
