Blue Note Tokyo: A Touch of Class In The Heart of Tokyo

I’m convinced Tokyo is one of the most magical megalopolises to exist on the face of the earth. Beyond being situated in Japan (no doubt a favourite country of ours), there’s life all about the city from the crack of dawn to the fading of the last sunbeams. And in particular, Roppongi comes out tops when it comes to the king of Tokyo nightlife. But … Continue reading Blue Note Tokyo: A Touch of Class In The Heart of Tokyo

Review: The Consultant by Wag the Dog Theatre

Office politics makes for prime dramedy in this tightly scripted, well performed second outing for Wag the Dog.  Love it or hate it, we all form inextricable links to the office as we step into work each day. In a sense, an office even becomes a kind of intimate community, and it’s no wonder that for years, it’s been the source of both drama and … Continue reading Review: The Consultant by Wag the Dog Theatre

Review: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute

You’ve never seen Ibsen quite like this in ITI alumnus Sankar Venkateswaran’s stripped down, physical-focused interpretation. When We Dead Awaken is often considered one of Henrik Ibsen’s most unusual plays. Set in a spa town amidst snowy mountains and mysterious women, Ibsen’s final play was also his most oneiric, along with being his darkest, in dealing with themes of unhappy marriages, artistic death and actual mortality. … Continue reading Review: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute
