Tinarantadong Asintado, Dulaang UP's Filipino adaptation of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus
Dulaang UP presents its third offering for its 36th season, "Titus Andronicus: Tinarantadong Asintado," Layeta Bucoy's Filipino adaptation of William Shakespeare's first tragedy, under the direction of Tuxqs Rutaquio.
Drenched in blood, "Titus Andronicus: Tinarantadong Asintado" intertwines political chaos and religious frenzy in a world where elections, showbiz and a town feast drown the people in murky violence. Two weeks before the elections, in a state of paranoia and extreme desire to win, a hitman fights back, and his story bloodily unfolds.
"Titus Andronicus: Tinarantadong Asintado" features a stellar cast led by Cinemalaya 2011 best actor Bembol Roco and best supporting actress Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino; GMA-7 actor Mike Tan; and theater actors Mailes Kanapi, Paolo O'Hara, Paulo Cabanero, Arnold Reyes, Rolando Inocencio, Cris Pasturan, Nicco Manalo, JK Anicoche, Nar Cabico, Delphine Buencamino, Olive Nieto and JR Macanas, along with the DUP ensemble.
The play runs September 14-October 2, 2011 at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater, Palma Hall, University of the Philippines, Diliman. For inquiries, contact Cherry Bong Edralin 0917-7500107.
