The Visit of the Tai Tai
October 24th, 2004
theatre
Saturday, stuck at work and worn out I had half a mind to skip the show even though I’d already gotten the tickets. Luckily I did no stupid thing like that. Everything was lovely. I like it’s stylishness and direction. The actors were extremely competent – even though many roles were supporting, the cast felt strong and acted well. Ivan Heng, in his get up as Lee Kwan Yin, frightens me. He is a terrifying witch – ugly, cold and twisted. The execution felt a little slow but suitable to the story of a decaying Sai Tang.
As the anticipation builds towards climax, I looked for clues signalling a last minute change of hearts. When it built to its natural ending, I was shocked. Extreme poverty strips humanity from humans. Attraction is an insufficient balm for injustice. Human judgement is flawed therefore has a price tag.
*Due to a weak memory I am poor at reviewing. My records of shows is to collect the writer’s view of the world. A better review by Vanessa Tan here.
