🎭 REVIEWS ARE IN 🎭
The critics are singing praises for our incredible client, @mr.edwu, who is absolutely stealing the show as The Amazing Karnak in the UK premiere of Ride the Cyclone at Southwark Playhouse Elephant!
From the moment he appears, Edward commands the stage with a performance that’s been described as:
✨ “Impossible not to keep glancing at... completely believable as a ‘Zoltar’-type magical machine.”
✨ “So perfectly robotic... one may doubt if Wu had actually been replaced by an animatronic – bitingly funny and always watching over the six teenagers.”
✨ “The funniest, most captivating presence onstage... the first thing I’d mention to anyone when explaining just how good this show is.”
✨ “Particularly strong in his delivery and comedic timing... acts as a sort of god or devil figure overseeing the afterlife.”
✨ “Strikes the perfect balance of ominous overseer and animatronic RuPaul, warming the audience up with cheeky meta-jokes about theatre etiquette.”
Edward has transformed Karnak into an unforgettable, hilarious, and mesmerising character. He’s not just part of the chaos—he’s the brilliant force holding it all together.
Huge congratulations, Edward! We couldn’t be prouder. 🙌
Don’t miss this electric, wildly inventive musical before it closes on January 11th!

#MyHalfNight – A Vaticinate Pictures Production directed by @shanpuing
A Chinese immigrant woman in Southend confronts the collapse of love—
not with silence, but with a reckoning that bends time, memory, and desire.
As reality softens at the edges, past lives whisper and karma stirs.
What remains when connection fractures? A journey beyond heartbreak…
into the unseen threads that bind us.

MY HALF NIGHT
Coming 2026
🌙 A love story told in shadows.
A woman. A city. A soul unraveling.
From visionary writer-director Shan NG @shanpuing and Vaticinate Pictures, MY HALF NIGHT emerges from the mist of modern-day Southend — a poetic, haunting journey through the fractured heart of Bee, a Chinese immigrant woman navigating the collapse of love, the weight of memory, and the echoes of lives she may have lived before.
As her relationship with El crumbles, one surreal night pulls her into a dreamlike odyssey of desire, grief, and karmic reckoning — where time bends, spirits whisper, and every reflection holds a truth she can’t ignore.
✨ A film of quiet fire. Of unseen worlds. Of a woman finding herself — between cultures, between lives, between breaths.
DIRECTED & WRITTEN BY Shan NG
STARRING Naomi YANG, Adam FIELDING, Sonny GREEN & a luminous ensemble cast
