Flash back, flash forward
My husband and I watched a play last Sunday morning, and I noticed several police cars in front of the theater. Cynical me said, "So, who's the big shot politician who's watching?" It turns out that someone actually threw a small bomb at the theater just before 5:00am, breaking several glass windows. The play, "Noli at Fili: Dekada 2000 (Dos Mil)," is Philippine national hero Jose Rizal's novels "Noli Me Tangere" (1887) and "El Filibusterismo" (1891) brought up to date for the new millennium. It's a political play and speaks against the current government, just like Rizal against the Spanish colonial government of his time. He was executed in 1896. I guess someone in power doesn't like what PETA is staging.

How exciting, though, adds so nice to the story of the play.
My husband is a policeman. It's always interesting to see the patrol cars in other countries. Thanks for commenting on my blog!
une bombe dans un théâtre !!! même pour une pièce politique, cela ne devrait pas exister ;o(
