Toy Factory’s stellar first production charts the birth and growth of a clan association over the last hundred years. Hokkien is a language that isn’t often associated with grace or beauty, often relegated to slang used in the army or, as is the case with many dialects, seen as a relic of the past. But in Sometime Moon, Toy Factory makes a strong case for convincing audiences … Continue reading Review:《有时月光》(Sometime Moon) by Toy Factory

Review: Gamarjobat Asia Tour 2018 presented by LOL Events

Irreverent humour and physical comedy makes this Japanese duo’s act easy to swallow and laugh with. Mimetic comedy is becoming an increasingly rare art form in today’s day and age, so it’s always an absolute delight whenever there’s a chance to see it being performed. Last weekend, that came in the form of Japanese duo Gamarjobat, as they stopped over at the Drama Centre as … Continue reading Review: Gamarjobat Asia Tour 2018 presented by LOL Events
