What I liked

The source material from Jose Rizal is something worth getting exposure and kudos to Cynthia San Luis for delivering the most grounded performance out of the entire cast.

What I didn't like

The writing, acting, and scene transitions need some massive reworking for this play to continue having legs outside of Fringe. I see potential but in its current format, this is not it.

My overall impression

If you like “The Room”, then this show is for you. It has a tremendous idea for the adaptation but ultimately marred by clunky writing, absurdly over the top acting, and scene transitions that need to be worked out pronto.
