Except his visually engaging take in the finale, legendary director Tony Mabesa remains faithful to Virgilio Almario and Jose Lacaba’s Filipino translation of one of National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin’s shortest plays “Fathers and Sons” (“Mga Ama, Mga Anak”), which runs at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theatre at the University of the Philippines-Diliman until this Sunday, September 24.
UP Playwright’s Theatre’s (UPPT) staging of Mr. Joaquin’s opus celebrates the Filipino writer’s birth centennial, which also opens the theater company’s 26th theatrical season, along with its theme “Honoring Defiance.”
Set in the mid- ‘70s, “Fathers and Sons” (“Mga Ama, Mga Anak”) introduces the audience to the dying Zacarias Monzon, a self-made man who earned his “karitela king” reputation in his heyday.
In his empty mansion on the outskirts of town, Zacarias boastfully recalls his past wealth, power, and success, which also points out the atrocities brought about by a patriarchal household.
