Treasure Island (Oct - Dec 2015) at DBS Arts Centre

Treasure Island

Till 13th Dec 2015
DBS Arts Centre - Home of SRT

REVIEW:
With the pirates, ship captains and coconuts around, we had a fantastic time watching Treasure Island stage show at the DBS Arts Centre - Home of SRT last weekend. Musical and a bit hilarious, our 4 and 6 year old enjoyed every bit of it. From sets to costumes and characters, it was a job well done.

The moral of the story was to cherish friendships more than the worldly treasures. A new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's popular novel of the same name, Treasure Island follows the adventure of Jim Hawkins, a lion-hearted 13-year-old girl who receives a treasure map from a kooky old seaman. Jim is tasked to help find the hidden treasure, but the road to riches is never smooth sailing. 

We also loved the idea of having a little interactive workout cum dance with the cast and music at the end of an hour-and-a-half long play. 

A whimsical theatre performance with Captain Smollett, Captain Flint - Billy Bones, Black Dog and others like Jim Hawkins and Squire Trelawney is not to be missed during this holiday season.

Review: The Nightingale, Aug - Oct 2014 Singapore

The Nightingale

Review:

The Nightingale, one of the sweetest, simplest and melodious children's theatre plays we have seen this year. Cozy environment of the DBS theatre, colourful theme based Chinese sets and a truly nightingale like singing made it a perfect show for all of us. The Chinese Emperor looked cute and his expressions made kids laugh many times during the show. The Nightingale is based on a simple story of the Chinese Emperor who was deprived of the world and many other things outside his palace. Even so he was not aware what feelings were and the first time he had tears in his eyes, he thought it was water. When the maid told him about the nightingale, he was evenly surprised what it was. He lived a lavish emperor like life but all confined inside the walls. It was nothing less than a cage which he realized when he captivated the nightingale in the studded cage for his entertainment and when she nearly lost her voice and was about to die for freedom. He realized that no one can live in the cage.

The cast was well-spoken and clear in their dialogues and expressions. The dresses fit well for the show. As a mother watching my kids responding to and interacting with the cast, while enjoying the play was truly heartfelt. So much so our younger one was slightly unwell before the show but she had all forgotten about it and was too happy that she would not stop smiling :). The kids also loved the dog, frog, cow and the Nightingale.

Other than the Emperor of China, Nightingale, Protector and the maid played their respective characters very well.  

Rating: 9.5/10 (Highly Recommended)
