Review: Oedipus (鞭爱) by Toy Factory

An innovative staging turns this twisted police procedural into a living nightmare.  If there’s one play this year that should come with a warning for the faint of heart, it’s Toy Factory’s Oedipus. Directed by Toy Factory artistic director Goh Boon Teck and written by Zhu Xin Chen, Oedipus, much like its title suggests, concerns itself with socially and sexually perverse themes that push the boundaries of what is … Continue reading Review: Oedipus (鞭爱) by Toy Factory
