Bona

Show Description:

Spinster call center agent Bona upon seeing the televised pitiful background of Gino Sanchez immediately becomes a fan of the Star of Tomorrow wannabe. In her desire to help him jumpstart his showbiz career, she gives him everything she has and turns her back to everything she values. Blinded by her belief in him, she allows all his faults to freely slide as she finds herself drowning in the surreal quicksand of worship and pity where manipulation blurs the line between prey and predator, the dismissive god and the faithful worshiper.

Show Reviews:

“We all have obsessions. And Bona has hers. In the language of the film, “obsession” is framed with a heavier Filipino term: pagkahumaling, which implies not only desire, but also confusion and the feeling of helplessness that goes with it. Bona, while dressed up as a comic play, attempts to expose the madness behind it all. In the end, the play turns the question around, and asks us — is it really so wrong to be obsessed when it gives one the will to live?” – By DLS Pineda (The Philippine Star)
