Review: Masters of Comedy by Toy Factory

A loving tribute to Chinese comedians and comedy in all its forms.  In our childhood, we recall many nights glassy eyed and glued to the television while wolfing down our dinners. There’s a keen sense of nostalgia associated with the act of watching television, remembered mainly as a family activity and one of the few times we truly get to kick back, relax and just … Continue reading Review: Masters of Comedy by Toy Factory

Review: The Consultant by Wag the Dog Theatre

Office politics makes for prime dramedy in this tightly scripted, well performed second outing for Wag the Dog.  Love it or hate it, we all form inextricable links to the office as we step into work each day. In a sense, an office even becomes a kind of intimate community, and it’s no wonder that for years, it’s been the source of both drama and … Continue reading Review: The Consultant by Wag the Dog Theatre

These include Taiwanese director Lang Tsu Yun and music director Huang Yun Ling, while the cast is … Continue reading Review: Super Mommy (我的妈妈是ENY?) by Resorts World Sentosa

Review: Pissed Julie (茱莉小解) by Nine Years Theatre

Strindberg’s classic is re-appropriated to complicate issues of identity and the mutability of class in this new adaptation. In watching Nelson Chia’s adaptation of August Strindberg’s Miss Julie, there’s a scene from late animator Satoshi Kon’s film Paprika that came to mind: in the opening sequence, we see the title character’s reflection split across multiple mirrors, each displaying a different expression. In a similar way, Nelson has made the unusual choice … Continue reading Review: Pissed Julie (茱莉小解) by Nine Years Theatre
