Playwright Bienvenido M. Noriega, Jr. drew some inspiration from his personal experience. He must have been motivated to write his 1976 CCP award winning play –“Kasalan sa Likod ng Simbahan” when our 68 year old Lolo with 15 children decided to marry again. Although the play was loosely based on actual events, the riotous scenes did not fail to elicit chuckles and laughter.
‘Kasalan was Noriega;s first full scale Comedy. It revolves around the insistence of a 69 year old widower to redeem a pledge of love and marriage to an even an older old flame over and above a riot of family objections. Love, of course, conquers all and happiness is secured.”
Noriega’s award winning play was staged several times By Bulwagang Gantimpala and other Theatre Productions.
