Dogeaters? Hey, we'd eat almost anything, really...

[innocentlyjaded]

Quick thoughts on the Dogeaters play:

- The way the actors delivered their lines seemed forced, it sounded... unwieldy, if that makes sense. But then again, it was their first night.

- Standout performances by Chari Arespacochaga, Joel Torre, Gina Alajar and Jon Santos.

- Well, I didn't expect that Dogeaters would be a novel that would exactly be performed as is. The book's story wasn't told in a linear way. As Sir Charlson Ong (who I sat beside in the theater) said, it was more of a pastiche kind of thing.

- Need to finish the book.

- The language was easy to understand, yes. As I was reading the taglish and the coño English, I could easily imagine the characters saying it with a flourish. On stage, not so. (Again, first night perhaps...)

- You'd get the play if you were aware of the book, of course. Otherwise, you'd be lost in it. So, I'd suggest reading the book first before watching the play.

May other days ba ng showing? :) Is it worth the watch (and the price? hehe)? :) I've already finished the book, thanks to Sir Oca, and have reported about it (thanks again to him!). :p

Yes, of course ^__^ I think they'll be showing it for the rest of November and December, though I'm not so sure about the dates.

I haven't finished the book itself, but I guess you can say it's worth a shot ^^. 400, 800 and 1,000 are the ticket prices. Jhamie, Shar, Ron and I all watched kanina. Jhaime was on the Balcony, and she said the view from the top was okay naman.

... and I meant to reply to your entry, but dang, your class sounds so very interesting and wonderful. I want to attend your class! xD
