I enjoyed a nice, laid-back dinner at Oasis Hideout last Wednesday. Tucked away beside a pool and with the sound of water in the background, it was a meal that was both relaxing and yummy.

Had the Traditional Duck Confit, and it didn’t disappoint—crispy skin, tender meat, beautifully plated with salad and mash. Washed it all down with a big cup of chocolate milkshake too.

If you’re in the West Coast or NUS area, this hidden spot inside SPGG is worth checking out.

🖤 Would you watch a play where the main characters are played by multiple actors, and the stage is split in two—one exposed, one veiled?

I had difficulty falling asleep after watching Sight Lines Productions’ The Pillowman—but that’s a good thing. Martin McDonagh’s dark, twisted script is already intense, but this staging adds even more layers: fractured roles, surreal visuals, and questions about storytelling that linger long after curtain call.

In my review, I reflect on how this ambitious production aligns with Sight Lines’ murder-themed experiences and why, in a world of constant storytelling, The Pillowman hits harder than ever.

A review of Sight Lines Productions’ The Pillowman, a bold and unsettling staging of McDonagh’s play featuring multi-actor roles and split-stage storytelling.
