Blistering drama...Director Tracie Pang allows the play to unfold with a quiet ferocity that keeps us rapt. Flashes of rage catch one almost by surprise while tender moments leave one fighting back tears.

A lot is said by the end but it's what remains unsaid that rings in our ears. The decision to localise the setting is also terrific. Late Company is a fine example of how text and performance fuse together to create truly compelling theatre.

Pangdemonium has a strong track record of producing quality domestic dramas, and Late Company ranks among their best. Kudos to director Tracie Pang for pacing Late Company to perfection; under her direction, there are emotional moments that catch one completely by surprise. The localisation of Late Company has also been effectively carried out making its themes and narrative feel immediately relatable and urgent to the Singaporean audience.

Above all, it is the efforts of the talented cast that makes Late Company as arresting as it is. Poignant, gripping and fiercely relevant, Late Company is a powerful, moving production that will leave you devastated, and is essential viewing. This is important, socially impactful work that delivers on all fronts, from production value to performance to a smorgasbord of lessons and thoughts audiences will take away.

Director Tracie Pang and the team of actors are stellar, delivering Tannahill’s fervent text with precision and charm. It is a combination of ruthlessness and vulnerability that the characters and actors display that makes this play a real masterpiece.  Late Company is a must-watch play that checks all the right boxes. The text and visuals are in perfect harmony, and yet they leave a mark much deeper than can be articulated.

Late Company holds so many elements and topics of discussion, thanks to Director Tracie Pang. The performance of the cast is beyond stellar. With an amazing cast and production team, Late Company is a play that will stir your emotions and keep you at the edge of your seat in anger and sorrow.

Pangdemonium has displayed a real knack for staging handsome productions with socially relevant themes that resonate with audiences and Late Company is the latest example of its winning formula.

The stellar cast marvellously embodies the different perspectives of the heartbreaking incident – both attached and detached – bringing audiences along for a rollercoaster ride filled with waves of laughter and tears.

I can't tell you enough how proud I am of the show. As I have been telling my friends and family, I really do think it is the most accomplished and fully-realised version of the play to date. I was deeply impressed and felt very honoured by it.

Late Company is a phenomenal piece of theatre which examines the issue of bullying today. It was tremendously moving and harrowing to watch at the same time...

The stellar cast Karen Tan, Adrian Pang, Edward Choy and Xander Pang held it together tight and told us an important story which reminded us that we have to keep talking to our children and those around us who may be in pain.

This production was so, so moving. I quietly sobbed from the table setting to the very end…even through the laughter. The performances, words, set, lighting, everything was brilliant. Thank you so much for this experience.

An awkwardly brilliant play filled with emotions, #latecompany is about #cyberbullying and its possible consequences, finding closure, and in the process, inevitably and desperately trying to find someone or something to blame and coming to terms with our fears, faults and flaws. Another excellent one from #pangdemonium

Wow. @pangdemoniumtheatre’s Late Company was intense, saturated with emotion beneath all the polite talk. The play also brought a lot of topics to the surface, that might take awhile to absorb and reflect. A wonderful performance by the cast - I felt every sentence and wave of emotion from all the characters on stage.

I have this habit - of not finding out what I am watching whenever I step into a theater for any @pangdemoniumtheatre production...because they are always that good and I love that element of surprise and suspense I allow myself. Late Company - starring Janice Koh, Karen Tan, Adrian Pang, Edward Choy and Xander Pang, all brilliant in their own roles, element and headspace. Thought-provoking, utterly sobering, gripping and powerful - peppered with light hearted moments that make you realize life is indeed one whole tragedy with pockets of golden moments.

Once again Pangdemonium brings a phenomenal, gut-wrenching, relevant and very important piece of theatre to Singapore. Go watch #LateCompany. This one really hit home for me. Thank you.

So glad I managed to get last minute tix for Pangdemonium's Late Company. Giant bouquets to the entire cast—Adrian Pang, Janice Koh, Karen Tan, Edward Choy and Xander Pang—for their electrifying performances. A powerful, relevant script and great direction too. If I were a tissue-selling uncle or auntie, I'd head straight to the Victoria Theatre ahead of tonight's final performance, because the audience WILL NEED SEVERAL PACKETS EACH. The folks around me were sniffling so much, there must be pools of snot on the theatre floor.

I didn’t know that to expect from watching a local production for the first time and little did I know that Late Company by Pangdemonium would resonate so deeply. Glad that this was the first of many plays I will be supporting. Kudos to the great cast for bringing awareness about depression and the realities of bullying to the crowd.

My mind is still swirling from Pangdemonium’s latest production. My husband and I spent our journey back to our kids, talking. About bullies, getting bullied and being different. My hubby and I have not reached common ground - many questions with very few answers. But we agree to leave the channels of communication open and wide. With each other and with the kids. And to keep talking. Thank you Pangdemonium for always inspiring us and prompting us to confront difficult topics.

Peter and the Starcatcher is at its heart, a raucous celebration of boyhood and youth, manifested through the soulful, madcap performance put on by the stellar cast. It’s a magical play that transports you from dreary Singapore to the lush jungles of Neverland in the blink of an eye, makes you wish you never grew up!

It is the perfect send-off to end Pangdemonium’s 2018 season, leaving us nothing but enraptured with all the hope and wonder of a child again.

Absolutely amazing and hilarious! If you haven’t already gotten tickets, please do catch this show. Brilliant acting, set design, sound, choreography etc. A performance definitely not to miss!

Take imaginative production design (set by Philip Engleheart, lighting by James Tan), add a cast from the who's who of Singapore theatre and the result is a top-notch rollicking production... clever, creative and delightful.

A rope is the sea, a mop is a cat, a man is a woman and simply everything makes you smile. The interplay of the whole ensemble is impeccable, the theatre stage craft is divine, the lighting is sublime, the live music is fantastic!

Pangdemonium’s Peter And The Starcatcher is a joyous laugh-a-minute treat... The cast is near-perfect, the production design is dazzling and director Tracie Pang adds localised, contemporary touches to keep you very entertained. We’ve rarely seen a cast and crew work this hard - trust us on this, we’ve seen a lot of plays.

An inventive adventure story for adults and older kids.

Director Tracie Pang and her creative team have put together a magical treat that keeps the audience enraptured throughout...working wonders in transporting us headlong into this wacky, wonderful world...fantastic work from the ensemble cast who play a veritable spectrum of characters with audacious physicality.

Scenes are conjured up using the simplest of props, giving the production an endearing, rough-and-tumble charm...a fun-filled voyage to round off the year and Peter and the Starcatcher is certainly a production bound to leave a smile on one's face, regardless of age.

Imagination is empowerment, and Peter and the Starcatcher directed by Tracie Pang joyously screams a celebration of innocence and of the very best of our childhood...the cast was wondrously bursting with energy and entertained audiences in every moment, with humorous, satirical remarks sending the entire audience into uncontrollable laughing fits, Peter entertained in every moment.

Just had THE MOST MAGICAL experience in the theatre. Thank you Pangdemonium for showing us how blissful, crazy, simple and yet mind-blowingly beautiful the magic of theatre can be. BRILLIANT ensemble dynamics where everyone held the show up collectively. A show like this just makes you wanna stand up and shout YES! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT, PEOPLE!!!

What a wonderfull evening that was! I have seen audiences clapping for special acting skills before, and in this show people clapped and stopped the show for absolutely fantastic direction ideas by Tracie Pang. It was fireworks of splendid ideas, we went from one fascination to another. Actors were so quick and clever with high energy, music by Joel Nah and Rizal with very tasteful local touches. Congratulations, and double thumbs up to all.

Badass and beautiful and silly and shattering, Peter and the Starcatcher is the hilarious, heartbreaking origin tale of the Boy who will live forever and yet will never get to live fully. Thank you Pangdemonium, Tracie Pang, and the incomparable cast for that tour of a magical world that made me yearn to have that same choice again, and perhaps choose differently this time.

Something magical happened in the theatre last night. Thank you, Pangdemonium, for this amazing show!!! I really didn’t want it to end. I want to watch it again and again. Congratulations to the amazing cast and Creative team, you are all magicians!!!

A hilarious, witty, heartwarming tale with its silliness, humor, and absurdity dialed up to eleven. A magical two-hour journey filled with music, laughter, hope, and adventure. A fitting curtain closer to mark another great season for Pangdemonium.

Awesome play by Pangdemonium. Fast-paced, creative, imaginative and absolutely hilarious!! Wonderful chemistry and camaraderie! Great production! Must watch!

Amazing show by Pangdemonium. The staging, acting, choreography and lighting were all inspiring. Clever, funny and great storytelling. My favourite Pangdemonium show so far.

Catch this joyful, hilarious and witty show regardless if you have the time or not! I've not lol-ed as much (literally) or felt so moved for ages, and I was thoroughly, thoroughly entertained by this energetic ensemble. It's highly physical and mesmerising.

The story, and the work that went into this production, are enough to mean you must catch it. I'm serious!

Pangdemonium ‘s Peter and the Starcatcher is a masterclass in directing (Tracie you are amazing), and the best ensemble in a show ever.

Don’t miss this marvellous display of talent, a show that reminds us to let our dreams take flight.

Rollicking fun! Amazing cast! Hilarious script, full of wonder and imagination! Please do catch Peter and the Starcatcher before they run out of tickets!

You will not be disappointed!

Pangdemonium shimmers in The Glass Menagerie. A strong cast and beautiful set ground this finely wrought adaptation…Inch Chua shines in a sweet, subtle performance…heartbreaking…stunning.

A good old-fashioned night out at the theatre with Pangdemonium’s dreamy, luminous rendition of The Glass Menagerie. I was so happy to see this production being realised. Strong, affecting performances all round and equally stunning staging with richly symbolic set by Eucien Chia and tasteful period costumes by Leonard Choo. Bravo Tracie Pang for pulling it all together. Go catch this.

Tracie Pang has done well to honour Williams’ writing, bringing out their inherent power. The performance is immortalised and captured in a cloudy, timeless bubble of memory, that shows that live theatre, against all odds, is unbreakable.

So nice to be back in a packed theatre without social distancing. Pangdemonium did a phenomenal job with The Glass Menagerie, a classic that I read half a lifetime ago and finally got the chance to watch performed live.

Thank you Pangdemonium for making our pure literature dreams come true and allowing us to watch this amazing play.

Full capacity at the theatre! And what better way than with Pangdemonium’s The Glass Menagerie, with a stellar cast directed by Tracie Pang and a phenomenal creative team. (I must admit that I was nervous sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers for more than 2 hours, but I felt comfortable and very at ease.)

Was absolutely thrilled to be back in a full house at the Victoria Theatre. Pangdemonium brought that (full) house down The Glass Menagerie, a truly timeless classic. Many congratulations to Pangdemonium for pulling this off, with such steely resolve, overcoming the bumps and obstacles along the way - the cheers and claps you got from the capacity audience when you came into the hall shows how much your work is appreciated!

I didn’t expect to be emotional going back to a live theatre performance. I am not a regular theatre goer, but being back last night for the first live performance in more than two years, I felt a loss of culture and connection from the last two years. It was an excellent performance of Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie by Pangdemonium. Really well done. Here’s back to human connection.

Brilliant show with Pangdemonium bringing us the classic play, The Glass Menagerie. The acting is sublime, the set is stunning, Please get yourself to the theatre. Thank you for pushing through all the barriers to share this with your very thrilled audience.

After a two-year hiatus, so thrilled to be reminded of how transportive and uplifting a good theatre experience can be. Thank you Pangdemonium

Thank you, Pangdemonium, for bringing yet another classic to our shores and setting it in front of a magnificent backdrop. I salute the cast, creative team and all involved in making The Glass Menagerie come alive and connected beyond place and time. We are truly appreciative of the work Pangdemonium develops, which inspires Singapore theatre to flourish.

Thank you Pangdemonium for stealing my heart with this play.

Thank you for the great production! We enjoyed our evening greatly! And congratulations on the full house. It was amazing to hear all the applause and have a common experience with so many people. Thank you!
