Mixing culture, creativity and charm, this collective work by five Philippino playwrights examines family obligation, ethnic identity and sexual desire all the while managing to keep a sense of humour about itself and its message. The abilities of the acting ensemble vary, but the passion and precision of the piece is strong enough to fill in the gaps. Although centred on a specific cultural background, the stories and struggles are broad enough, and human enough, to be accessible to all. Cleverly and simply staged, this is a fine example of what making good use of a Bring Your Own Venue space can achieve.
