homesick at the drama centre

i'm glad i went to watch the play homesick by wild rice, with chin ee. it's part of the singapore theatre festival and there is still one more day that they're showing the production so i pretty much recommend this if you have no plans on sunday. the play is about the singapore identity, or lack thereof, and the script and acting were pretty tight. it was a good idea to have the whole set of the house on stage so you could see what the other actors were doing in other rooms while the spotlight was not on them. the script was witty though towards the end it got a bit too whiney, the sentimental bit so i think it ended just about the right time. all in all i think wild rice has always produced good plays and this one was just about right to replace last year's dim sum dollies' dose of local satire and fun wit. the love-hate relationship continues, but i think we're getting better at the loving bit actually.
