2011 to 2013: Plays Watched
For archiving purposes, I decided to log the plays I’ve watched from 2011 – 2013. 🙂
볼쌍한 오이디푸스
Going into the theatre started with a surprise at the entrance, when the ushers told us the seats were up on stage. “Huh?” But that was the tiniest of surprises compared to what Korean theatre company 죽달 Juk-Dal (name derived from their first show 죽도록 달린다 Running to the Death) had in store for me…
The Boy Inside
Once in a while, a friend achieves something and I, as a bystander, end up feeling immensely proud despite having done nothing. This is especially so when it’s a creative pursuit. I guess it’s the fact that you see growth, you see improvement, and whether small or big, these things take a lot of courage,…
Lost in Fort Canning
Three years of going for Shakespeare in the Park hasn’t changed a thing. Four shows later, I still get lost in Fort Canning, in the hot weather and uncomfy shoes. 雨季中百花掉落过后的沉默 – 蘇打绿 And when I got to the Park, boyyy was I surprised. I was here on VIP tickets given to…
White Rabbit Red Rabbit
I am a little stunned, and to a large extent impressed by how tight-lipped people are after coming out of White Rabbit Red Rabbit. It doesn’t come as a surprise that I didn’t know what the show was about when I went in. After all, I’m the sort to buy tickets blindly. But when…
Yuletide
It’s been a long while, hasn’t it? These four weeks have been chockful of fun that doesn’t feel like it. I have no either why either, I’m just really lethargic most of the time. I renege on my appointments and push off actual work, which is really not like me. /sigh I need to get…
Baby Steps
It’s been one hell of a week, guys. Last week I said my crazy week was a prelude to a hell week. And I wasn’t joking at all. It was quite literally hell. Every single day I was dragging myself everywhere. I don’t know how my body is coping with all of this. I don’t have the…
Learning to Love Darkness.
Cr: sistic Whatever it was, nothing prepared me for Shun-Kin. I have never felt this way for a show before. As everyone around me rose in a standing ovation, I didn’t even have the energy to stand. I was just in my seat, reeling from the whole production, trying to regain my footing in the…
Back for Seconds
Cr: sightlines productions DISCLAIMER: This will not be a review as much as it is a rave. Did you know? You are the one person I have ever truly loved. All my life. The one constant that I never figured out. The one thing I have never regretted. Without conditions, without reason. And yet. The…
