Written by Rick Elice with music by Wayne Baker, Peter and the Starcatcher is a prequel to J.M. Barrie’s novel Peter Pan, … Continue reading Preview: Peter and the Starcatcher by Pangdemonium

Review: Here and Beyond by Toy Factory

A Toy Factory triumph in this adaptation of the only O-Level Literature Singapore text. Adapting a piece of literature from one medium to another can be challenging. The language alone already poses difficulty, such as how translating prose to drama runs the risk of either being weighed down by the length of the text or losing the original essence of the language altogether. Toy Factory’s Here … Continue reading Review: Here and Beyond by Toy Factory

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
