Review: Stupid Cupid by Patch and Punnet

A space-time continuum busting series of parodies that makes for a successful second outing for this youth theatre group.  Staged in a small, intimate living room space above brand new bookstore-cum-cafe The Moon, Stupid Cupid is a quirky play that feels perfectly designed for a millennial audience. The second production from Patch and Punnet, Stupid Cupid imagines a hapless Cupid (Jit), constantly drunk and unable to fulfil his duties … Continue reading Review: Stupid Cupid by Patch and Punnet

Saucy Seafood: The Boiler Opens At The Esplanade

Founded in 2014 with their flagship outlet at Tai Seng, multi-award winning restaurant The Boiler’s concept of serving up fresh seafood cooked in a bag may seem familiar and done before by similar restaurants. But what’s so special about this establishment is the fact that their seafood is assured fresh, not to mention the unique, east meets west combination of delicious sauces each dish is steeped … Continue reading Saucy Seafood: The Boiler Opens At The Esplanade

Review: 13.13.13 by Theatreworks

Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: One Metre Square – Voices From Sungei Road (Review)

Torn down but not gone, the voices of Sungei Road live on in this piece of verbatim theatre. 10 July 2017. For most people, it was an ordinary day. But for the vendors of Sungei Road, that’s a date that marked the end of their lives as they knew it, the official day the historic Thieves’ Market was closed for good, and its inhabitants displaced … Continue reading Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: One Metre Square – Voices From Sungei Road (Review)

Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: Faghag (Review)

The faghag is elevated to modern day superhero in Pam Oei’s hugely entertaining, big hearted origin story.  On their own, ‘fag’ and ‘hag’ are pretty derogatory words. But as Singapore’s biggest faghag puts it, two negatives make a positive, and Pam Oei celebrates the term in all its glory in her aptly titled cabaret show of the same name. Faghag opens in song as Pam confidently strides … Continue reading Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: Faghag (Review)

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

Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: An Actress Prepares (Review)

An Actress Prepares confirms the one thing we all already knew – Siti K is without a doubt one of the best actresses in local theatre today.  Siti Khalijah Zainal is one of the most recognizable and beloved actresses working in theatre today, by virtue of her name alone able to sell out entire runs. But it wasn’t always the case for her, as she delves … Continue reading Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: An Actress Prepares (Review)

Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: Faghag (Preview)

Theatre is rife with gay men, and women who love them. And if there’s one person who’s out and proud to be a firm supporter of the rainbow cause, irresistibly drawn to gay boys (and vice versa), Pam Oei without a doubt fits the bill as a gold star faghag. But exactly when and how did this happen? In the autobiographical Faghag, Pam Oei dives deep into her … Continue reading Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: Faghag (Preview)

Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: An Actress Prepares (Preview)

Siti Khalijah Zainal is one of our favourite actresses to watch onstage, and has pretty much excelled in every one of the diverse roles she’s been in, whether comedic or dramatic. And of the various types of theatre she’s been involved in, she’s always had a particularly powerful time performing monologues. An Actress Prepares then, is the perfect show for Siti to bare all in this … Continue reading Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: An Actress Prepares (Preview)
