We’re more than halfway through the year, but there’s a lot more to see and do in the coming months. Case in point: Wild Rice’s final three shows for 2023. Psychobitch, G*d Is A Woman, and Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs will leave theatre fans on a high note.
Psychobitch
Psychobitch is a one-woman show that boldly dissects gender power dynamics and the subtle shades of toxic relationships. Sindhura Kalidas plays Anya Samuel, an over-achieving journalist, whose fiance accuses her of being way “too emotional” and tasks her with explaining the four times she has cried in public since the beginning of their relationship. Will Anya be able to bring her A-game and discover who she is and what she wants?
Catch Psychobitch from Aug 3 to 19. It is written by Amanda Chong and directed by Pam Oei.
G*d Is A Woman
Get ready for a side-splitting satire about Singapore’s cancel culture. When a group of irate artists creates a fake petition to cancel Ariana Grande, little did they know that some would take the petition a little too seriously to the point where Ariana Grande’s upcoming concert comes under threat. With competing petitions and anxiety-ridden Zoom calls between Los Angeles and Singapore, those who are wanting to save the concert now come up against those who are easily offended. Will the concert be saved?
Watch G*d Is A Woman from Sept 8 to 23. Directed by Ivan Heng and written by Joel Tan, it stars Munah Bagharib, Benjamin Chow, Brendon Fernandez, and Zee Wong,
Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs
Journey to the Eternal Kingdom, where the Queen wants everything and everyone to be perfect – just not as perfect as herself. When her subjects turn 18 years of age, they are sent for “Enhancement”, a programme where their flaws will be corrected. When the Queen’s stepdaughter, Snow White, comes of age, the Queen realises that she is jealous of her stepdaughter’s beauty, and sends her to the Royal Surgeon.
Though Snow White escapes, she encounters the Seven Dwarfs, who are citizens who have been banished from the Kingdom for falling short of the Queen’s high standards. Will the Queen’s pursuit of perfection ever end? And will Snow White save herself from her stepmother?
Watch Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs from Nov 16. Written by Alfian Sa’at and directed by Hossan Leong, the show stars Chua Enlai as The Queen, Nadya Zaheer as Snow White, and Vester Ng as Prince Charming.
Tickets are now available for sale for all three shows. For more information, visit www.wildrice.com.sg.
