Preview: Frenemies by Prem John and Chandi Perera

Two strangers from Singapore and Malaysia are thrown together by a simple customer service request. In this antiromantic comedy, things rapidly spiral out of control and, what follows escalates into a war of words so absurd, it could put the most dedicated penpals to shame. In this play, – somewhere between the petty complaints, personal digs, and strange admissions – two souls realise they might … Continue reading Preview: Frenemies by Prem John and Chandi Perera

Agony underneath confetti, this is a play that speaks of the universal pain we hide under a smile. Growing up is never easy, and it often feels like we’re trapped in a world only we know, when no one else seems to understand the pains of adolescence. But for some, that pain mutates into something much more horrifying, with the spectre of mental health and … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: A Super Happy Story (About Feeling Super Sad) by SRT’s The Young Company

★★★★★ Review: Invisible Habitudes《看不见的归属》(2024) by T.H.E Dance Company

Searching, finding, longing, connection. In an increasingly fractured world, our own identity can enter a state of flux, where we no longer feel comfortable at home, and the familiar becomes strange. It becomes difficult when we’re constantly shouted at from all fronts, yelled at to listen to someone else’s opinion, when we haven’t even settled on our own. In exploring that, T.H.E Dance Company explores … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Invisible Habitudes《看不见的归属》(2024) by T.H.E Dance Company
