Review: The Importance of Being Earnest (2020) by W!ld Rice

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 8/2/20) Stellar revival of W!ld Rice’s acclaimed all-male version of Oscar Wilde’s magnum opus. Concerning itself with an exaggerated version of Victorian high society, where ‘style, not sincerity, is the vital thing’, The Importance of Being Earnest remains one of the world’s most beloved comedies, surrounding the misplaced importance over one’s name and background, characters are exaggerated stereotypes, find themselves in absurd … Continue reading Review: The Importance of Being Earnest (2020) by W!ld Rice

The burden then falls onto a patient’s carer as … Continue reading Review: The Long Goodbye 小儿子 by Story Works X Dreamland (Huayi 2020)

Review: Principle 原则 by Hong Kong Repertory Theatre (Huayi 2020)
