Review:《有时月光》(Sometime Moon) by Toy Factory

Toy Factory’s stellar first production charts the birth and growth of a clan association over the last hundred years. Hokkien is a language that isn’t often associated with grace or beauty, often relegated to slang used in the army or, as is the case with many dialects, seen as a relic of the past. But in Sometime Moon, Toy Factory makes a strong case for convincing audiences … Continue reading Review:《有时月光》(Sometime Moon) by Toy Factory

Review: The Father by Pangdemonium!

Same same but different – Pangdemonium’s The Father is a terrifying take on dementia as seen through one man’s eyes.  Florian Zeller’s The Father is a difficult play to watch. Not necessarily because it’s complicated (although it’ll certain leave you confused and terrified by the end), but because it’s a play that deals with the inevitable – growing old, and the very real possibility of encountering … Continue reading Review: The Father by Pangdemonium!
