Review: The Father by Pangdemonium!

Same same but different – Pangdemonium’s The Father is a terrifying take on dementia as seen through one man’s eyes.  Florian Zeller’s The Father is a difficult play to watch. Not necessarily because it’s complicated (although it’ll certain leave you confused and terrified by the end), but because it’s a play that deals with the inevitable – growing old, and the very real possibility of encountering … Continue reading Review: The Father by Pangdemonium!

Huayi 2018: Cut Kafka! (咔嚓卡夫卡!) by Nine Years Theatre and T.H.E. Dance Company (Review)

Nine Years Theatre and T.H.E. Dance Company take audiences on a nightmarish journey that explores the chaos within our minds. When Nine Years Theatre and T.H.E. Dance Company come together, it’s almost certain that something incredibly out of this world will be born from the collaboration. And when you add a heavy dose of surrealism, you’d probably get something along the lines of Cut Kafka. … Continue reading Huayi 2018: Cut Kafka! (咔嚓卡夫卡!) by Nine Years Theatre and T.H.E.

Evita Media Call – An Interview with the Cast and Creatives

Considering that this is the first time Evita will ever be staged in Singapore, it’s pretty impressive that it’s the version considered the definitive one by original composer Andrew Lloyd Webber. Based on the rise to power of real life Argentinian political leader Eva Peron (the eponymous ‘Evita’), Evita is widely considered to be one of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s best works, alongside Cats and Phantom of the Opera. Originally opening … Continue reading Evita Media Call – An Interview with the Cast and Creatives
