“The musical, directed by Checkpoint Theatre co-founder Huzir Sulaiman, handles classroom and meeting room dynamics confidently, with actors getting their accents down pat for a comical representation of Singapore’s varied linguistic landscape, from literature teachers with erratic pronunciations to the context-dependent accent switching painful to the ears of students chafing against class and pretentiousness.”

“… the truth of the moment was nonetheless conveyed very effectively by some of the actors… Tiara Yap I thought did a very very good job, she was a fantastic little kid who decided that Christianity was why she was gonna be a better person than all the other kids she was with… some very very strong acting.”

“… there are some standout actors who showcase a natural confidence and clarity in their voice, such as Tiara Yap, whose pre-existing stage experience affords her a comfort in her role as a long-suffering civil servant who has to bear crimes originally meant to be inflicted on others, before completely shifting personality into a more maniacal bomber.”

“… in moments where they play off and build upon each other, the cast is a well-oiled combination of moving parts – their chemistry is charming and much-needed in a production as heavy as 1984… We sigh as Shaik Nazray and Tiara Yap fall for each other as faux Winston and Julia, all the while tamping down the creeping dread of Winston’s reality and future as he watches from the stage foreground. As an ensemble, the cast is a crystallization of manic, frenetic energy, chilling as they stare into the middle distance, looking at an unseen Big Brother tucked within the audience.”

- Centre 42 on Singapore Repertory Theatre’s 1984

“Tiara Yap, who plays Prudentia, has little to work with within the one-dimensional Gen Z archetype she is given, but still manages to snag her moment of vulnerability.”
