In celebration of Dulaang UP's 35th season is yet another show that will surely tickle your funny bones. From a Roman comedy by Heinrich von Kleist and with Filipino tranlation by Jerry Respeto comes Dulaang UP's 4th production of the season, Amphitryon.





Amphitryon is a moral fable that challenges our deeply rooted beliefs about love, infidelity and deception. Everything starts when Alemene, a faithful wife to King Amphitryon is not aware of a secret admirer. Jupiter, king of the Gods is secretly infatuated with her. So one day when the King left for war, Jupiter descends from the heavens and disguised himself as Amphitryon. Believing that Jupiter is his husband, Alemene welcomed Jupiter with her open arms. After a night of romantic encounters, King Amphitryon returned from the battle. With Jupiter now gone, will Alemene and Amphitryon discover the truth? Will they uncover the deception brought upon them by the Gods?



Cast includes Neil Sese, Lex Marcos, Diana Malahay, Wenah Nagales, George de Jesus, Paolo O'Hara, Lucky de Mesa and Natasha Cabrera. Directed by Jose Estrella, Dulaang UP is promising a show worth laughing for.



Amphitryon starts with its first show on February 16 and will run until March 6. The show will be held on the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater, 2nd floor Palma Hall, UP Diliman, Quezon City.
