The award winning classic play of Tanghalang
Pilipino is making a comeback this October at Tanghalang Huseng Batute of the
Cultural Center of Philippines, this is the American classic and politically
relevant “Ang Pag-Uusig” or The Crucible by Tony Award winning playwright
Arthur Miller.
Along with Actors Company, this year’s rerun
proves a lot in terms of acting performances, most its original cast are now
doing dual roles, it’s a challenge for many of its actors specially on
memorization part, this play had a kilo-metric lines. Compare to 30 rehearsals
before, this revival only had 12 practice to perfect it.
I’ve never seen the first run in 2017, but
this one really blow me away, it is intense and more eye connection to its characters,
blocking in one stage format is surely admired same in the previous shows, script
analysis is also use in this production to help all the actors give their best.
One notable change this time is the adaption
of Filipino dress or Barong in the Act 2 of the play, somehow it makes you feel
connected since majority of its audiences are Filipino, Ang Pag-Uusig is set in
1950’s base on the story with Latin American settings by Miller, but its theme
and strong message can be conveyed in today’s time, in line with Tanghalang
Pilipino tagline “Utak, Puso, Bayan”.
True to its original content, Ang Pag-Uusig tells
a story of one village face with fear, greed and power, over telling the truth
and telling a lie, using witchcraft as medium of condemning and making others
suffer the consequences of the justice system.
Ang Pag-Uusig is still under the Direction of
Dennis Marasigan, the translation to Filipino is by Jerry Respeto. Six Gawad
Buhay awards won by this play last 2017 including Best Direction, Translation,
Ensemble Performance in a play, and Male Lead Performance in a play.
Playing for four weekends, this play closes
on October 28, 2018.Tickets are P1,000 (VIP), P8,000 (Bleachers) all are
