Hai. I think I’m in like… With whom?
Yesterday morning, I went to San Beda College to watch a play together with my classmates for academic purposes (Do I really have to say that?) The play was entitled Of Masks and Memories and was written by Mel Magno. At first I thought the play was not worth it because our teacher made it as a project for our two subjects! (If you get what I mean…) It was voluntary, of course, but if you can’t watch the play, you’ll have to write a book report about an assigned novel! So, what’s a Mascian to do? Choose the easier.
But what I thought at first was wrong. The play was tremendous. It was great though I can’t relate myself to the story of the main characters, Brent and Julia. I think I can somewhat relate myself to Deborah, childish, has a past love story (though mine is not that dramatic and we weren’t together) and most of all, she loves chocolate (though she’s fat and I’m not.)
The auditorium was better than the auditorium where we watched our Florante at Laura and Ibong Adarna during my fresh and sophomore year. The auditorium of SBC was smaller but cooler, more comfortable and most of all (and the greatest), the audience was just our batch (but we were able to fill up the whole auditorium), so, unlike Florante and Laura play that we watched last year (that we cannot understand well because of the shouts and useless loud conversations of the other students from the other schools), it was clear and I had a great time watching it. We (I and my batchmates) laughed together, we clapped together and we cheer together (maybe because of having the same instinct)… Anf after that, silence once again (though it doesn’t fade in a snap.)
The actors were also magnificent especially Bien, Star and Nickson (Tristan, Julia and Brent.) There was only one problem. Sometimes, the voices of the actors while singing is not clear so we can’t understand some of the lines. I don’t know if it’s because of the sound system or the voice itself. But, oh well… Over all, it’s great… Really great.
The story is about a theatre guild in rehearsal for their play, Romeo and Juliet (so that makes it a play making a play, haha.) The story started when Julia, the Juliet in the guild’s play arrived late for the rehearsal because of her present boyfriend, Tristan. Brent, their good-looking (good-looking, really! Hai) and Julia’s ex-boyfriend for more than three years became angry especially when Tristan interferes with the rehearsal by taking so much time of Julia’s s he asks for her forgiveness. Julia didn’t accept his soryy and instead, they broke up. Tristan threatened Julia and said that she’s his alone.
As the story went on, many masks were taken off and many secrets were revealed causing the formation of many complicated connections. It is true that love is sweeter the second time around, but it can also be deadly.
If you are made to prove someone your great love, but are left to with no alternative but to pick one, what will you choose… to kill or to die?
