6 days ago | indiependent.co.uk | Mae Trumata

An exhibition of male idiocy that touches on parasocial boundaries and entitlement, Tummy Monster is a visceral and stomach-churning feature that first premiered at last year’s Glasgow Film Festival. With only three characters on display, this piece by Ciaran Lyons stretches the limits of one location. It maximises the feeling of desolate suffocation and desperation.

1 week ago | indiependent.co.uk | Cory Gourley

★★★★“My husband is getting more like a child and less like my husband every single day”. This is just one of the many poignant lines that makes Matthew Seager’s, In Other Words, such a powerful piece of contemporary theatre. The play itself follows Arthur (played by Seager himself) and Jane’s (Lydia White) love story, which is one tinged by sadness and the devastating reality of Arthur’s battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Veteran game director Yoko Taro, best known for NieR: Automata, has issued a stark warning about the future of human game developers amid the rapid rise of generative AI—and he’s not optimistic.

Book Review: The South // Tash Aw

2 weeks ago | indiependent.co.uk | Julian Amani

The pleasure of reading Tash Aw lies in his ability to create intimate moments between characters and their surroundings. His short memoir, Strangers on a Pier, served as my introduction to Aw. The prose was sparse, breathable, inviting you to slow down as he navigated you through his family history. Similar themes of belonging and relationships are found in his new novel, The South, the first instalment of his quartet.
