★★☆☆☆ Review: No Man’s Land by The Necessary Stage

The message is lost in this uneven and confusing exploration of masculinity, its title aptly representing the wasteland and vacuum of modern manhood. In 2025, men find themselves in an interesting new era of their gender, where stereotypes and roles are being questioned, and it seems that we now need new definitions, new ways of seeing and defining where exactly masculinity stands today. Promising that … Continue reading ★★☆☆☆ Review: No Man’s Land by The Necessary Stage

Review: Snakes & Ladders – Life Edition! by Dwayne Lau

Dwayne Lau shows you how to find the silver lining in every moment, in this sincere, autobiographical show disguised as an interactive cabaret. There’s something charmingly chaotic about Snakes and Ladders: Life Edition!, a 40-minute cabaret-style solo show performed by actor Dwayne at the Esplanade Concourse. Free and open to the public, it’s an earnest, heartfelt experiment in autobiographical performance, part-musical, part-game-show, part-memoir, as well … Continue reading Review: Snakes & Ladders – Life Edition! by Dwayne Lau

Let’s start with a caveat: I’m not a jazz person and can’t recognise the specific technicalities that go into jazz, but if anything, the crowd at capitol theatre was buzzing as they gathered before the show. It … Continue reading Concert Review: Kamasi Washington – Fearless Movement at Capitol Theatre
