Drama queens

|
The women playwrights of Writers Bloc woo words and
win wisdom
|
|
Let’s face it: there’s no money in theater.
But someone has to do drama. Dramaturgy, that is.
And who could better to do dramaturgy than
women. Whether 40-minuter one-act plays or hour-plus-long
full-length plays, local women playwrights have devoted time, talent
and tough love to produce quality work that say something important
about society, about being a woman, and about being Filipino. The
independent association known as the Writers Bloc Inc. has that type
of women. Once again, some of them will have their works staged at
the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) for the fourth Virgin
Labfest in the coming two weeks.

grilled—that simple. With no fancy sauces or breadcrumbs to hide
behind, all depends on the quality of the meat.
