Preview: A Fiend’s Diary by The Finger Players + An Interview with Oliver Chong

There are some people who have lost touch with society, or rather, no longer find meaning in life. They find their existence to be absurd. If that’s the case, is their existence meaningful, if at all? A man does not shed a single tear during his mother’s funeral.

With Drama Box’s incredibly ambitious two part play Tanah•Air 水•土 then, the … Continue reading Review: Tanah•Air 水•土 – A Play In Two Parts by Drama Box

To most Singaporeans, it’s also a word synonymous with late founding father Lee Kuan Yew, who frequently employed it as a rallying cry to unite against colonialism in the years leading up to the 1963 merger, inextricably linked to our own … Continue reading Review: Merdeka / 獨立 /சுதந்திரம் by W!ld Rice
