TRAVEL: "Singapore Lightens Up: The restrictive city-state relaxes some limits on theaters in a bid to become an arts hub," by Tom Wright, Wall Street Journal, 28-29 March 2009.

Singapore allows a production of Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest" with an all-gay cast.

Singapore just adjusting once again. It lost electronic production to India and China and shifted to financial services. Now it wants to make itself over--somewhat--as a cultural hub for Asia.

Censors beware.

The usual holds: the more connectivity you want, the more you have to adjust your local rule-set to accommodate the wider, connecting world.
