Directing Twelve Angry Men
Guru, Catherine Faulder, Published on 07/10/2016
» Loni Berry, the man behind Bangkok's multicultural, English speaking theatre, Culture Collective, is set to be putting on Twelve Angry Men towards the end of this month, the first of a string of plays the theatre will be staging this season. We're uber keen to see what he's got up his sleeve for this one, considering his Lisbon Traviata won Best Production at the 2015 Bangkok Theatre Festival. And personally, we did love his musically witty Death of Miss America. From Asian stereotypes and homosexuality, to nudity, Berry's performances always tackle prickly topics that make viewers stop and think. We thought it's wise to dig a little deeper into the artistic director who's making such great, mind-altering and risky moves for theatre in Bangkok.

» If Cath Kidston opened a cafe and it had a Bangkok branch, this would probably be it. Flavors Cafe, a little darling of an eatery, opened up seven months ago on Thong Lor 20 right opposite the Cheesecake House & Restaurant. The cool grey walls, the Grecian arched windows, the flowered décor and the cute little garden out back make you feel as if you're sitting in a frightfully English country cottage. And the food's going for the uber home-cooked feel too.

Roads, actually

» Tests are supposed to measure what we know, or, more accurately, what we don't know but should know. That's why it's problematic when we're passing exams but failing in the real life situations those exams sought to mimic. This could easily be alluding to the shape of our national education in general, but we're directing our frustration to a specifically aggravating application of skill in this country: driving.
