The Banter: An Interview with Sheena Ling and Dyllis Teo, Co-Directors of Hurstville – The Heir

Oftentimes, immersive experiences are centred around pure entertainment, whether as Instagram museums, or sprawling, exploratory works taking audiences to out of this world realms. Rarely though, have they ever been used as a vehicle for social good, something that Underground seeks to change with their works. As the theatrical arm of Social Emotional Intelligence training company The Inside Space, Underground aims to take the philosophy … Continue reading The Banter: An Interview with Sheena Ling and Dyllis Teo, Co-Directors of Hurstville – The Heir

Review: The Son by Pangdemonium!

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 22/2/20) Sometimes, love just isn’t enough.  For a play that’s titled The Son, it’s interesting how it ends up becoming a show that reveals far less about the eponymous son than it does about the people surrounding him. In Pangdemonium’s latest production, Nicolas (Zachary Pang), a troubled 16-year old, seems to be undergoing problems far bigger than the usual dose of teenage angst. His recently … Continue reading Review: The Son by Pangdemonium!

Review: Fika & Fishy by Patch and Punnet

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 15/2/20) ‘Adult-oriented’ show about a friendship between pets stuck at crossroads between crass humour and an attempt at genuine emotion.  Remember waking up on weekends as a kid, switching on the TV and catching those Saturday morning cartoons? Patch and Punnet’s Fika & Fishy is a little like that, complete with its own opening song in the form of a rap by omarKENOBI … Continue reading Review: Fika & Fishy by Patch and Punnet

Preview: Four Horse Road 四马路 2020 by The Theatre Practice

When The Theatre Practice produced Four Horse Road back in 2018, the project was a sprawling, massive undertaking. Taking its cues from immersive theatre and heavily vested in a firm foundation of research of the actual Waterloo Street to do justice to its history, the promenade theatre production was unlike anything the local theatre scene had ever seen before. Now, they’re bringing the remarkable production back for … Continue reading Preview: Four Horse Road 四马路 2020 by The Theatre Practice

Review: The Rishi and Sharul Show 2

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 14/2/20) 2 is better than one as comedy couple Rishi Budhrani and Sharul Channa join forces in a one-night only Valentine’s special. “How do you keep the magic alive?” an audience member asks comedians and married couple Rishi Budhrani and Sharul Channa during The Rishi and Sharul Show 2. It’s not a surprising question, considering how for most of the show, the couple … Continue reading Review: The Rishi and Sharul Show 2
