★★★★★ Review: Hamilton by Base Entertainment Asia

You will know his name and sing it, loud and proud. On paper, Hamilton seems like an audacious idea for a musical – not only is it a three hour biographical recount of lesser known American founding father Alexander Hamilton, it also deliberately does race blind casting to have almost all these major Caucasian historical figures to being played by minorities onstage. But ever since … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Hamilton by Base Entertainment Asia

★★★★☆ Review: How I Learned To Drive by Renee Yeong

Full speed ahead into the complex topic of pedophilia and grooming in small town America. In America, with its long highways and winding roads, driving remains a necessity if you want to get out. As a result, getting one’s driver’s license becomes a key rite of passage, marking a coming of age for many Americans, symbolising newfound freedom with the ability to go anywhere, anytime … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: How I Learned To Drive by Renee Yeong

★★★★☆ Review: Little Shop of Horrors by Sing’theatre

Delightfully camp revival of Off Broadway classic brings both darkness and comedy to the stage. For anyone who’s ever owned or cared for a plant, you’ll know that many of them can be incredibly picky or particular about their food sources. But when it comes to carnivorous plants, it’s a whole other ball game, when you have to actively hunt down and provide live insects … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Little Shop of Horrors by Sing’theatre

Art What!: An Interview with Robert Zhao on representing Singapore at the 2024 Venice Biennale

Despite never involving himself as the subject in … Continue reading Art What!: An Interview with Robert Zhao on representing Singapore at the 2024 Venice Biennale

★★★★★ Review: pass·ages by Sim Yan Ying

Resonant work on ageing shows YY’s vision and true capabilities as a director given enough time and resources. Time is a cruel mistress. Regardless of where we come from, it is the one thing we are all subject to, eventually resulting in death. But along the way, time also brings with it age, our bodies going through significant transformations at every stage of our life. … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: pass·ages by Sim Yan Ying

★★★★☆ Review: The Last Gardener 《身后的微光》by The Theatre Practice

Passing on lessons of care and moving on through the humble act of gardening. With limited land and government flats with strict rules, Singapore’s housing estates rarely allow for enough space or freedom to grow one’s own garden. As a result, those with a green thumb or a hankering for plants make do, placing tiny succulents along windowsills, or for those with bigger ambitions in … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: The Last Gardener 《身后的微光》by The Theatre Practice
