I don't really know how I missed seeing the ad for Romance in D. Good thing that we are technologically connected to many friends who are also connected to others. Thus, I found myself traveling back to Makati last Friday night (I was on leave) to watch the play at Onstage.
I googled the synopsis on the net. I forgot to check though if it was a musical or not (i was on a rush the whole day of Friday... i know, excuses, excuses!). Thought it was one because of Audie Gemora.
It was not really hilariously funny but one can get blown away with the play of words about music and poetry. How can one describe it? It was about communication through music and words. It was about the importance of human relationships. It was about family and friendships.
It was fun to watch the romance between Pinky Amador (Helen Norton) and Chinggoy Alonso (George Fox). There truly is no age limit for love.
Isabel Fox's (Ana Abad Santos - Bitong) acting seemed artificial to me. I cannot really imagine that she is a 40 year-old woman. But when I checked just now the Repertory website, a word caught my eye : immature. Oh, so she was supposed to be that. No wonder her clothes and her acting were such. Now, I understand. Wish I got that description before I saw the play.
Despite this confusion, I really enjoyed the banter of words between her and Charles Norton (Audie Gemora). One must watch the play to comprehend what I am trying to say!
Try to catch it the next time it is in town!
