Shut Up, Play! is exactly what the title says it is. During the performance, none of the performers actually communicated verbally. Instead, they captured the audience’s attention by playing their “instruments” and incorporating exciting visual elements in zany performances.        
Although the stage was originally […]

Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land

By -@ On 11 March 2007

Fashionably busy as everyone else, it’s been a while since I last wrote. Caught two Huayi performances on the same day. Game Play which my friend Gilbert Oh starred in and the much-awaited Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land. Well those who know me personally will understand my fascination with all things Taiwan.
I haven’t watched the […]

By daryl On 7 December 2006

It is usually quite a common sight for a movie to be adapted from a novel, a literary text, or a theatrical production like a play or a musical. But it is indeed rare for a musical to be adapted from a movie, as in the case of Puteri Gunung Ledang - The Musical, which […]

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…

By jean On 8 January 2006

I LOVE CHESTNUTS! My must-watch theatre production every christmas! Great way to wrap up the year
kinda miss Sean Yeo as the original-half of the Chestnuts duo. New replacement Hossan Leong has his own perks i guess - being widely publicised in the theatre scene. Nonetheless, Chestnuts Episode III: Revenge of the Shooting Stars […]

Mind Games

By -@ On 30 December 2005

I’ve always been a fan of magic and its variants but the ability to read minds and play mind games with other people’s minds always fascinates me. Marc Salem’s Mind Games was highly recommended to me by my friends and his profile seem credible as well.
He started off with a showcase and explanation of how […]
