Review: We Were So Hopeful Then by The Necessary Stage

An attempt to highlight the invisible people key to a production’s success. In any theatre production, those deemed worthy of praise are often limited to cast and creatives. But even beyond them, there still exist people who are present in every production, yet never receive praise or acknowledgement they deserve. To highlight these invisible people then acts as one of the key goals of Ellison Tan’s We … Continue reading Review: We Were So Hopeful Then by The Necessary Stage

N.O.W. 2019: Nimita’s Place – Staged Reading (Review)

The tragedy of Partition leaves a haunting impression in this page to stage adaptation.
