    PEPE

    Malou Jacob’s monologue of Jose Rizal on the events of his times has been faithful to
    his own utterances, actions, and writings. Rizal’s view on the present is what the
    playwright believes his reactions would be in the light of, specially, his letters, where he
    revealed his innermost thoughts and emotions.

    The monologue focuses on he roots of Rizal’s oppression while exploring his


    relationship with his family and country, always reminding the audience that although a
    hero, he was first and foremost an ordinary human being, an ordinary Filipino. We ever
    share a common plight: exploitation by a foreign power.

    Rizal also shares the Hamlet in artists. Like Shakespeare’s hero, Rizal’s tragic flaw was
    his vacillation, his indecision - making him all the more human, all the more like you and
    me.

    Rizal is us. We are Rizal.

    Tanghalang Pilipino’s touring production of Pepe is available for booking. TP is also on


    the planning stage for the re-run of the critically-acclaimed Noli Me Tangere, the
    Musical, as directed by Audie Gemora. We invite you to partner with TP as we bring to
    life Rizal’s works and wisdom on stage for the present generation and for generations to
    come.
