Dedma from Theatre Titas starts weekend runs from March 29 to April 13 at the Mirror Studio Theatre 2, on Kalayaan Avenue, Poblacion, Makati.
It’s a twin-bill of two short plays from the pen of Chesie Galvez-Cariño - and they are both wonderfully written dramas with strong shafts of humor and irony. That It’s a twin-bill of two short plays from the pen of Chesie Galvez-Cariño - and they are both wonderfully written dramas with strong shafts of humor and irony.
And don’t get me wrong, several in those villages possess all those negative values, but it’s too easy to generalize and say that holds true for everyone in that demographic. Chesie brilliantly reminds us that they’re still people with weaknesses and frailties, often tone-deaf but also well-intentioned - if just inept at expressing themselves properly. They’re also prisoners to social conventions, status, and a unique set of interpersonal dynamics.
Pride, hubris, dogged determination not to lose face, empty empathy, and a severe tone-deafness are all seen in the play as the two engage in a metaphorically vicious game of one-upmanship. Recriminations fly like mosquitoes as the best sans rival is served, and Earl Grey tea is poured. You must watch this to appreciate how much this original material works and hits home.
