Review: The Page on Stage – Missing presented by The Arts House

Love goes hand in hand with loss in this moving adaptation of Ng Swee San’s short story. While K. Rajagopal is best known for his acclaimed work on film, the director of A Yellow Bird admitted in Missing’s post show discussion that he was nervous about helming this theatrical work, considering how film and theatre are two very different mediums. The truth is, he had absolutely nothing to worry … Continue reading Review: The Page on Stage – Missing presented by The Arts House

Preview: Papa directed by Sharul Channa

On the inspiration behind the work, Sharul … Continue reading Preview: Papa directed by Sharul Channa

A cool breeze blows by, a welcome respite from the sweltering heat of the last few days, and we watch as Zelda Tatiana Ng draws a long breath from the cigarette perched between her left index and middle finger. Suddenly, she recalls: … Continue reading Always Every Time: An Interview with Ground Z-0 Artistic Director Zelda Tatiana Ng

Textures 2019: The Page on Stage – Samping by Spare Room Productions (Review)

Moving monodrama that will move even the hardest of hearts. Adapted from Cyril Wong’s short story The Mistake by M.

The title of Samping refers to a piece of cloth used to complete the traditional Malay baju kurung, left behind by protagonist Aiman’s late father. On the day … Continue reading Textures 2019: The Page on Stage – Samping by Spare Room Productions (Review)
