★★★★★ Review: Supervision (2025) by Wild Rice

2025 restaging of Thomas Lim’s play on surveillance, power and agency stands the test of time and proves itself a modern classic of Singapore theatre.

★★★★★ Review: Lived Fiction by Stopgap Dance Company

★★★☆☆ Review: Statement Piece by Checkpoint Theatre

A statement on the universal idea of ambition and the lengths we’re willing to go to achieve it, but plot holes and lack of character depth leave us wanting. To become lost to history is to have lived a life insignificant, leading to so many people’s desperate climb up the ladder to ‘success’.
