5 - Even Nonsense Has A Meaning

Last Saturday we watched a play entitled "Ang Tatay Mong Kalbo". I honestly

didn't get what the play is all about. I still have no idea until now the message

that they are trying to convey. Haha. However, the play was interesting.

I was with my friends (Leslie, Nicole, and Bianca) last Saturday and was really

looking forward to watch the play since my classmates who watched it last Friday

told us that it was really worth it and funny. It was worth watching. 

The play started with Mr. and Mrs. Santos talking about how great it is to live 

in Makati. Then came Maria, their maid, who actually made the whole audience laugh.

Mr. and Mrs. Reyes came next with only knowing this time that they are actually "married"

Later came, Hepe, a fire fighter or a chief, who is secretly in a relationship with Maria. 

It ended with Mr. and Mrs. Reyes mimicking how Mr. and Mrs. Santos were doing in the first part of the play which made it more confusing for me to understand.

All of them were telling a story which really had no sense with the play but I'm sure they 

are trying to show us, the audience, a message. We just have to find it but it seems that it is impossible for me. I've been thinking all night (Saturday night) on what was it all about and I got nothing. It's been bothering me until now on what was it all about. It didn't even revolved around a bald father. It was mentioned in the play but it wasn't really focused on the father.

Anyway, the play was good. My friends and I enjoyed it. With that, I hope Theatre Phileo will make more plays like this. Plays that would entertain us and intrigue us with what the play's hidden message.
