Review:《有时月光》(Sometime Moon) by Toy Factory

Toy Factory’s stellar first production charts the birth and growth of a clan association over the last hundred years. Hokkien is a language that isn’t often associated with grace or beauty, often relegated to slang used in the army or, as is the case with many dialects, seen as a relic of the past.

The Studios 2018: A Good Death (Review)

The hard truths of Faith Ng’s latest play handles mortality firmly and frankly, while still ending on an emotional sting.  As much as we all know that death will come for us one day, it remains an immensely difficult and taboo topic to talk about.
