Manila, Philippines, November 7, 2013--De La Salle University-Manila's Harlequin Theatre Guild (HTG) restages Tim Dacanay's stage adaptation of the Palanca Award-winning novel "The Sky Over Dimas," written by Vicente Garcia Groyon, from November 21 to 23 and November 25 at the university's Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium.

Award-winning actor Bembol Roco leads the cast as George Torrecarion; he shares his role with original cast member Redgie Jimenez.

Directed by Romualdo Tejada, "The Sky Over Dimas" also stars Charisse Ang, Janine Martinez, and Jose Rufino Dy Buco.

In "The Sky Over Dimas," Groyon brings his readers (audiences) to his real-life hometown, Bacolod, the capital of the province of Negros Occidental, where the Torrecarions, members of the upper-middle class, dwell in dark secrets filled with greed, deceit, and betrayal that their kin members cannot escape on their own.

Amidst all the secrets, there is but one person who will do anything and everything to end the cycle that continuously haunts his clan: George, who is fed up with all the lies.

George exiles himself to Hacienda Dimas in Bacolod where it all began, and exposes the skeletons in the closet that delve into his family's past.

The production features musical score by Dodgie Fernandez, set design by Joseph Duran, and lighting design by Katsch SJ Catoy.
