Tanghalang Pilipino Present: Juego de Peligro, A tale of seduction and greed in the form of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
Tanghalang Pilipino, the resident theater company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, finishes its 28th season with a tale of seduction and greed in the form of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ controversial classic, Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Adapted for stage by celebrated playwright Elmer Gatchalian, with Tuxqs Rutaquio at the helm, the stage version, now with the title Juego de Peligro, now transforms the French aristocracy to pre-war Intramuros, where, similar to the decadence of the former, the wealthy engages in the game of power play, with seduction and deceit become the tool of the trade; where only the most cunning survive and the innocents, lose along the way. Juego de Peligro opens on Feb. 20 at the CCP Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino. Succeeding performances will be on Feb. 21-22, 27-28, and March 1 and 6-8 at 3PM and 8PM.
