The Grave Diggers

Grave Diggers. At first, the setting was so dark and really looks like creepy. But then, my high expectation went down after the show.


The play was all about a grave digger who digs graves to steal the corpses’ jewels and properties and another man who was just forced to do the digging because he needs money for his wife. I think, and maybe what really had happened, that the innocent man did not continued the diiging even if he badly needs money for his wife who suffer from tuberculosis. Agustine’s principle in life made him stop the immorality, and that’s what I like him the most, and what everybody should have, THE RESPECT to the living and the dead.

The ghosts were a little bit funny, they were like curtains hanged on the corner,it added the not so creepy mode though. The lines were not so clear. So much errors, maybe because it’s free :D. After all, it’s still good and entertaining. 

Twelfth Night

March 8, 2013: ABEO students showed a deconstructed act of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

The story started with  the separation of the twins, Sebastian and Viola. The twins thought that they had already lost each other but they still hope that they will be seeing each other alive and safe. Viola and the captain found themselves in the middle of Illyria. As viola fell in love to the old man Orsino, she decided to disguise as Cesario. Things gone worst when the eunuch Viola was tasked by count Orsino to be his messenger of love to Olivia, Viola was forced to meet Olivia. Olivia then fell in love to Cesario. Everybody was against at Olivia’s love to Cesario. Unexpected things happen when Sebastian, the twin of Olivia was found at Illyria. They thought that Sebastian was Cesario and vice versa. Because Orsino was badly inlove to Olivia, he got mad to Cesario when he knew that Olivia was in love to him. All secret were revealed when the twin met each other again. Viola had admitted her secret love to Orsino, and because of that Cesario was gone and Viola was back and happily in love to Orsino.

These people from ABEO really did a great job. I enjoyed the time watching the show. Well done folks!
