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!

The Banter: An Interview with the Director and Cast of Singapore Repertory Theatre’s The Lifespan of a Fact

It’s hard to deny that the truth is getting increasingly harder to find. Not just because of the prevalence of fake news and outright falsehoods, but even in the idea of half-truths, where facts are flubbed over for convenience’s sake and for a better story. Following on from productions such as The Truth and Caught in 2018, Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT) opens their 2020 season with The … Continue reading The Banter: An Interview with the Director and Cast of Singapore Repertory Theatre’s The Lifespan of a Fact
