4 - ANG TATAY MONG KALBO

12:53 AM

ANG TATAY MONG KALBO is an absurd play that shows nonsense but gives joy to the audience. Because it is very entertaining, especially when you know who are the ones who are acting, you are proud to see one of your friend to act like that to entertain the audience.

There are situations in the play that prove that it is absurd like, They just keep on telling stories that happened in their daily lives, rumors or news, but it is very nonsense just for the sake to entertain each other like people do in reality. They usually repeat their hyperbolized words that makes the play entertaining and funny. If the play was written in English, the audience will still pick up the humor because it will make the audience bolt out of the blue and snoopy on what will happened next. But if the play was written in English,  it is almost the same like the Tagalog version, because the audience understand it better and feel what the play is all about. 
The 2 main characters. Mr and Mrs. Santos are the type of person who are absentminded. They didn’t even know that they were both Mr. and Mrs. Santos and they also didn’t know that they are married.  they thought that they were Mr. and Mrs. Reyes. Aside from that trait, they have this kinds of sides. The other Mr. and Mrs. Santos are the one who are naughty and furious, While the other side of them is they are kind and caring, but absentminded on. and the other characters, Maria and Hepe gives joy to every people especially Maria, because he shows how lively and energetic the play could be.


It appears that it has been written as a continuous loop. It expresses the futility of meaningful communication in modern society. The play is absurd, but very entertaining because of the jokes and stories that each character said. It is called as Tatay Mong Kalbo because the main characters, Mr. and Mrs. Santos are absentminded, but the stories that they have told  is related in our daily lives.
