Boeing Boeing

was wondrous. Because I had a little help from my mum's friend's friend, I managed to clinch a Row E seat 10 which was pretty close to the stage considering how Drama Center isn't all that huge. With this magnified view (as compared to the 2nd circle Row M seat 33 view), the emotions were this much clearer so that I could see their goosebumps and beating jugular vein. I kid. I could only see their neck tendons stretch and arteries gorge up with blood they stood at outstanding angles away from their necks. Awesome stuff. Adrian Pang deserves the commendations; his ability to not only imagine and naturally bring out the scene but also drag the audience in together should get a standing ovation. When he did Pillowman too I believed him to be a heartless thug of a detective. And authority scares almost everything out of me, so he pretty much scared me witless. However, Boeing Boeing has been taken and adapted to the local scene so much of the slang and puns will not be completely appreciated by the non local audience. Nevertheless, those aside, they basically feed off universal stereotypes of air-stewardesses (their flirtations and loose lips...both, I know you think that too), so it'll be pretty easy to understand. Besides, the whole play actually revolves around one day and how Bernard (Adrian Pang) finally fails to complement his philandering ways with his 3 air girls. Hilarious failandering though, catch it if you can!

P.s: I think there's gonna be another round of Emily of Emerald Hill next year by Ivan Heng, catch that too!
