It’s an issue that shows that … Continue reading Review: Master Race by Myle Yan Tay

Even today, 26 years on, with plays dealing with the concept of … Continue reading Review: Private Parts by Michael Chiang Playthings

That is the issue at the core of Noor Effendy Ibrahim’s 1995 play Cerita Cinta, where contrary to its innocent title (literally ‘Love Story’), love manifests itself in perverse, violent ways that leaves … Continue reading Review: Cerita Cinta by akulah bimbo SAKTI
