MANILA, Philippines - Dulaang UP on its 34th Theater Season presents Heinrich von Kleist’s Amphitryon. Filipino translation by Jerry Respeto and direction by Jose Estrella, Amphitryon is a tale of love, godly games and mistaken identities.
Alcmene, a loving and faithful wife is left alone by her husband King Amphitryon, who goes to battle. The god Jupiter falls in love with Alcmene, so he disguises himself as her husband. As Amphitryon returns, Jupiter disappears. Would she recognize the difference?
The cast includes Neil Sese, Lex Marcos, Diana Malahay, Gilleth Sandico, George de Jesus, Paolo O’Hara, Diana Alferez and Natasha Cabrera.
Amphitryon runs until tomorrow, Sept. 26 at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater, second floor Palma Hall, UP Diliman, Quezon City.
