- IN SYNC WITH THE ARTS
- =====================
-
- A fortnightly instalment of the arts and cultural scene in
- Singapore.
-
- `A Christmas Carol' a play by Charles Dickens will be on at the
- Drama centre from 22-23 Dec. Playground theatre have added some
- Singapore flavour to it and it will be called `It was almost
- Christmas'.
-
- It tells the story of Albert Koh, an ambitious architect whose
- main goal in life is to get his BMW, a condo in district 15, a
- hand phone and an office in Shenton Way. He seems to have
- forgotten the simpler things in life in his pursuit. Here is
- where his guardian angel, Star comes in. She is given the task
- of making him mend his ways and rediscover the true meaning of
- Christmas. But the plot thickens as Albert is one tough customer
- and Star may die if she fails to convince him. So some of her
- friends decide to take matters into their own hands and plots a
- revenge.
-
- Some of Star's one liners are targeted very close to home like
- "I have to make sure every bloody bulb works so people can go
- `ooh' and `aah'." Sounds like great fun!
-
-
- Substation is not having their annual New Year's Eve bash because
- of lack of funds. This 10 hour musical marathon has been
- attracting about 15 000 people since it kicked off in 1990. Rock
- group, Stomping Ground blames the $2 000 deposit as a deterrent
- to sponsors. The organisers have to put up $2 000 deposit which
- will be forfeited if the crowd gets too unruly.
-
- However all is not lost. For those who wants to rage on the New
- Year's eve, Perfect 10 is organising an `Event of the Year' which
- will kick off at noon on the Dec 27 on 98.7 and will culminate
- with a party at Zouks. Some of the well known artists like
- Douglas O, AWOL, Gani, DNA and Black Sun will be there to welcome
- the New Year with you. See you there!
-
-
- Those preferring a more `arty' way to welcome the New Year will
- be thrilled to hear that Theatreworks will put up a `complete
- space travellers' guide to Singapore'. This play was a result of
- a 12-week comedy writing workshop sponsored by SPH. Audience will
- travel through Singapore in the year 2020 while looking for the
- ultimate holiday destination. This revue will be held at the
- Black Box, Fort Canning and will be followed by a countdown.
- Tickets will include drinks. Cheers for the New Year!
