PUBLISHED February 3rd, 2014 12:46 am | UPDATED July 25th, 2024 03:18 pm
With all that eating over Chinese New Year, it might be time for something different this week! How about watching some theatre in a warehouse, or discovering awesome creative wares in not one but three markets? Or how about shaking off some of those extra pounds to a very cool Tokyo-based DJ who will be doing his thing here for one night only? Oh and if you really must keep eating, there’s a BBQ that will check that box for those who haven’t quite had their fill. Check out our round up of this week’s top events here:
1. Take an off the beaten path adventure with The Henderson Project
We’re big fans of theatre in alternative spaces, so couldn’t be happier to hear about Dream Academy’s Henderson Project which will be transforming their warehouse home into a stage for two runs of unusual and intimate performances with their take on The Last Five Years, a powerful love story and the heart-warming story of Happy Robin. Tickets are very limited so we recommend getting in there early!
The Henderson Project takes place from 6th February 2013 at 203A Henderson Road, #02-01 Singapore 159547. For more information on show dates and times, and ticketing information please see here.
2. Yet more unorthadox theatre with The Woman in Black in a Gothic-style building!
You know the saying, it never rains but it pours! Not one, but two alternative-style theatre experiences kicking off this week, the second of which is The Woman in Black being staged at Sculpture Square. This is renowned for being one of the scariest plays of all time, but this one is bound to be way scarier given the fact that it’s interactive. Eeeeeeeeek!
The Woman in Black is happening at Sculpture Square from Friday 7th February – Sunday 9th February at Sculpture Square, 55 Middle Road Singapore, 188977. For more information on performance times and ticketing information see here.

Expect a meat feast with ribs, sausages, steaks, lamb, chicken all raring to go on the BBQ and be guzzled up by you!
