An Interview with Bound Theatre Members Wee Xuan Yi and Teng Zi Ying

As much as we love the well-established, big players in the local theatre scene, each time we attend a play, we’re also thinking about some issues at the back of our heads: “is there a new generation of theatremakers to eventually inherit these legacies?” Thankfully, Singapore does have a smattering of young theatre companies and collectives, each finding their own way as they produce new … Continue reading An Interview with Bound Theatre Members Wee Xuan Yi and Teng Zi Ying

Directed by Kaykay Nizam and written by … Continue reading Review: Makan Cosmopolitan by Ape Studio Limited
