Review: We Were So Hopeful Then by The Necessary Stage

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. When Akshita Nanda debuted her first novel last year, little did we expect to see it receive a stage adaptation just a year later.

Review: The Wonderland Cabaret by Andsoforth

Andsoforth’s naughty side is realised in full with this curious cabaret. When Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland in 1865, chances are he never imagined it would ever be adapted into a cheeky cabaret, complete with his characters dressed in fishnet tights, thigh-high boots and all dragged up. To be honest though, he might end up enjoying it, especially if it comes in the form of … Continue reading Review: The Wonderland Cabaret by Andsoforth
