"… And it is Edna Vida-Froilan and Nonoy Froilan, who also play the same roles in other shows, who are to watch out for. To say that Vida-Froilan overflows with brilliance and emotions, is an understatement. Since her retirement in the 90s, she graces the Main Theater’s stage once again with her brimming presence and handsome characterization for Old Teresa. Notice how her energy silently enchants the audience with just a single flick of her hand. Consider how she turns and brandishes her given space with quiet rhythm and empathic connection with the stage and her audience.

Froilan, on the other hand gives a more pained and aging Old Victor. In him, I see the surviving victim of a wounded past, ready to give up, just to appease the Fates. Froilan dances with a unparalleled energy; painting a character with an ample degree of regret and longing. To see them both on the CCP stage is a rare treat to treasure. Never miss this one."
