As it implies from its title, NUS Stage’s Shook brings Gen-Z culture to the stage, fully intending to leave audiences shook with its form and content. Written and directed by Sean Tobin, Shook combines original text, movement, video … Continue reading Review: Shook by NUS Stage (NUS Arts Fest 2021)
