Review: Hossan-AH 50! – Love You LEONG Time! by Double Confirm Productions

A last hurrah for the Singapore Boy in this sincere celebration of a life in entertainment. Surefire ways to tell you’re getting on in age – when people call you ‘lao ban’ (boss) instead of ‘xiao di’ (little boy), and when you realise it’s probably more appropriate to call the taxi driver ‘brother’ instead of ‘uncle’. Where these might spark a mid-life crisis in some, … Continue reading Review: Hossan-AH 50! – Love You LEONG Time! by Double Confirm Productions

Review: Acting Mad by The Necessary Stage

Exemplary, no holds barred look at mental health in the theatre industry. As much as mental health has entered common conversation these days, it remains one of the most misunderstood conditions in the workplace, seen as some kind of weakness, a burden to employers or worse, a fake excuse to get out of work. But what about in the theatre industry, where actors are constantly … Continue reading Review: Acting Mad by The Necessary Stage

But what The Little Company’s Fantastic Mr Fox does that takes it one step further is combine high production value and strong … Continue reading Review: Fantastic Mr Fox 《了不起的狐狸爸爸》by The Little Company

A 10-lesson course by one of Asia’s top 10 female comedians pays off for these new comedy hopefuls. Is it possible to even teach an art form as intuitive as stand-up comedy?
