Did you ever experienced being left alone in the world? It's like you don't know what and where you are heading off in your life?
Last April 20 (Wednesday) we were asked by our prof to watch a play from Teatro Tomasino entitled " Ang Favorite Book Ni Jude" it's from Bob Ong's. At first impression, I was clueless what is the play all about and how would it be presented. Is that something tragedy or tragic comedy? Your curiosity would get into your mind because of the title itself.
The play starts at 10 am so we decided to go to Educ Bldg earlier than the said time so we could get a good seat while watching the play. We started to form a queue at the entrance ticket as we reached the place we found out that they haven't prepared yet with the pictures, the preparation of the table. It's almost 10 am and students are already coming in to the place. We asked if what time are they going to let students enter the place, the kuya told us that they will start getting tickets by 9:45 then we waited. They've let us entered the place pass 10 am already.
At first scene of the play, the actors and actresses were stuttering in delivery of their lines. They are quite nervous and I guess they are not comfortable yet but the play was presented smoothly. Based on how I understood the play, it is a story of Jude's family recovering from a tragedy of typhoon wherein he lost all her kids and Marco was the only survivor after the typhoon. After which, Jude lost his connection with God that turns out that he doesn't have any idea where he was leading. He's trying to understand what is his purpose and he started doubting God's existence. There is this part wherein he is trying to question God if there is really God? He killed himself (suicide) that made the story let him see all his wrongdoings when he was in Earth. The story is all about man's quest as he journey his life about morality, humanity and faith with God. Jude was sent back to Earth by God as another being. He was sent to give him another chance fulfill his mission. This is just to summarize the story of "Ang Favorite Book Ni Jude"
(pictures are just sneak peek from the play since we weren't allowed to take pictures of the entire play)
I would like commend their actors and actresses for portraying well their characters in the play. It is also a form of service by Teatro Tomasino informing all Thomasian about our faith to God no matter what obstacles we might face through in life. The play is also telling that we should never question God's existence and believe in his promise of eternal life.
I hope you enjoyed reading my blog for today.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
