Playwright Michael Chiang's Army Daze, which debuted on the Singapore stage in 1987, has become a classic.

The 25th anniversary version staged in 2012 - which features (above, from left) Chua Enlai, Joshua Lim, Ebi Shankara and Adi Jamaludin - began streaming on Chiang's Playthings channel on YouTube from June 13. It has had nearly 25,000 views since.

The 2015 staging of Chiang's classic musical Beauty World will be released on Saturday.

Mrs Santha Bhaskar confesses to feeling "sad and depressed" during what she characterises as "the miserable state of locked down circuit breaker".

The circuit breaker period has brought home to her the value of live performance, says the Cultural Medallion recipient and artistic director of multidisciplinary performing arts group, Bhaskar's Arts Academy.
