Fresh off the critical success of the Pulitzer Prize winner “Rabbit Hole,” Red Turnip is capping off its second season with another heralded play from Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Donald Marguilles, “Time Stands Still.”
Dignitaries and luminaries from various fields graced the opening of Dusit Thani Manila’s newly refurbished Mayuree Grand Ballroom, dahlings.
There is much to praise in Red Turnip Theater’s “Rabbit Hole”—one of the trifecta of “beautifully depressing,” emotionally searing shows playing in Manila this month, the other two being the exquisitely mounted productions of Han Ong’s “Middle Finger” (by Tanghalang Ateneo) and Jason Robert Brown’s “The Last Five Years” (by 9 Works Theatrical).
MIDDLE Finger,” Han Ong’s acclaimed adaptation of Frank Wedekind’s controversial coming-of-age classic drama “Spring Awakening,” is translated into Filipino by Ronan B. Capinding and presented by Tanghalang Ateneo under Ed Lacson Jr.’s direction. Venue is Ateneo's Fine Arts Black Box Theater
