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

The faghag is elevated to modern day superhero in Pam Oei’s hugely entertaining, big hearted origin story.  On their own, ‘fag’ and ‘hag’ are pretty derogatory words. But as Singapore’s biggest faghag puts it, two negatives make a positive, and Pam Oei celebrates the term in all its glory in her aptly titled cabaret show of the same name. Faghag opens in song as Pam confidently strides … Continue reading Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: Faghag (Review)
