Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Royce Cabrera will share the stage for the first time in the theater adaptation of the 2007 Cinemalaya film Endo.
Presented by Ticket2Me in partnership with PETA Plus, the stage production runs from April 10 to May 10 at the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) Theater Center. The adaptation is directed by Melvin Lee and written for the stage by Liza Magtoto.
Endo originally captured attention in the independent film scene, winning the Special Jury Prize, the Gawad Urian Award for Best Screenplay, and the TANGLAW Award for Best Picture. The story follows ordinary Filipinos navigating love and life while living paycheck to paycheck under the uncertainty of contractual work.
In the stage version, Curtis-Smith plays Tanya, a spirited dreamer seeking more from life, while Cabrera portrays Leo, a young man caught in a cycle of temporary jobs and fleeting relationships.
Kate Alejandrino plays Candy, a figure from Leo’s past who complicates their relationship. Alternates Rissey Reyes-Robinson, Esteban Mara, and Iana Bernardez also rotate in the lead roles.
The adaptation aims to bring heightened tension and intimate emotion to the story, exploring the fragility of love and the challenges of uncertainty.
Tickets for Endo range from P1,600 to P2,700 and are available at ticket2me.net.
