last night, i watched the shadows of the reef. the very first play that i was able to watch since i was required to watch it for my communication3 class. it was amazing. really intimate since the Wilfredo Ma. Guerrero theater was a small theatre. the music gave me chills and goosebumps and it sometimes drowned the words of the characters. drama and comedy came to play. comedic especially when the village women gathered aroud and gossip about lupe.all in all, i loved the play. better go and see for yourself.
the synopsis
the play was about lupe, the mother of gabriel who had to sell herself to fishermen and trawlers so both of them would have something to eat and so that gabriel wouldn't have to go muro-ami fishing. gabriel didn't listen to his mother so he died. lupe kept on doing this so that everytime she smells fish and salt and the sea, it would remind her of her son. lupe, as payment of her sins, asked their local priest if she could play the role of Christ on good friday and be nailed to the cross. the priest was bewildered because she was a woman, but in the end she played it because she made a miracle, according to the villagers, happen.

at the end of the play, the curtain didn't come down or was it suppose to not to? the audience thought that the characters were looking at something because they were staring at the ceiling so everybody turned too. everybody was confused whether it was finished or not but then eventually left. when the show was done i was suppose to go to katipunan because my cousins were waiting there and tito will fetch us. i tagged along christian duldulao and his friend Ohrel. and heck i'm not suppose to write it here but hehe, kilig naman ako.. katabi ko pa siya sa jeep. hahah! oh yeah! hope he does not read this. tapos during the play, there was this guy that looked like Mark only a little cuter. haha, ang cute talaga niya. maliit din siya. wala lang. hehe.. yeah and that's about it for my night.. got to go study for tomorrow's economics exam. wish me luck!
