★★★★★ Review: Waiting For Audience by Nine Years Theatre

Metatheatrical musing on artmaking is a hit, thanks to emotive, powerful performances and staging by Nelson Chia and Mia Chee. There’s good reason why so many parents in Singapore dissuade their children from pursuing a career in the arts; as much as it’s an industry that brings entertainment, joy and provokes thoughts in the countless audiences who witness it, it’s also a notoriously unstable scene, … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Waiting For Audience by Nine Years Theatre

★★☆☆☆ Review: A Thousand Stitches by Alan Oei and Kaylene Tan

Missed opportunity for new, emotional perspectives of the Japanese Occupation, with innovative techniques let down by shaky execution and cohesion. In the Singaporean history and social studies syllabus, portrayals of the Japanese Occupation in World War II have always unequivocally painted them as the villains, where Singapore (then renamed Syonan-to, or ‘light of the South’) lived under a reign of terror, afraid to offend these … Continue reading ★★☆☆☆ Review: A Thousand Stitches by Alan Oei and Kaylene Tan

When you’ve watched enough shows, it becomes far too easy to become jaded and critical, forgetting the appeal of theatre that charmed us into it in the first place. But every so often, a production comes along that makes you … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: HOME by Geoff Sobelle
