A play on meditation, love and choice to remain

2TinCans Philippines, Inc. presents “Stay a Little Longer,” a full-length drama written by Sarah Mae Enclona-Henderson and directed by Shifrah Bouchikhi-Enclona on August 29 and 30 at The Kabilin Center.

“Stay a Little Longer” follows a woman whose memory moves fluidly across the many stages of her life. One moment, she is a child grieving the loss of her brother. In another, she is a young woman fighting to be chosen, a wife and mother, a physician, or an elderly woman trying to understand the unfamiliar room around her.

The play features Sarah Mae Enclona-Henderson as HER, Charlene Virlouvet as DAUGHTER, Shiella Pestaño-Gemperoa as DOCTOR, Rio Delizo as NURSE and Jonathan Tad Tadioan as HUSBAND.

Stage management by Benjun Yu and production design by Louie Carlo Basalo.

“In a world that values clarity, accuracy, and coherence, dementia disrupts not only the individual, but everyone who loves them,” said Enclona-Henderson.

The play is part of KULUKABILDO II: Stories in Direct Light, a program that brings original stories into the light through the distinct voices of emerging Cebuano directors.
