The Cafe Shakespeare was directed by our teacher, Miss Joan Paulette Libo-on, so i was able to watch the show at the University of San Agustin with my co-learners in Theater Class. It started with a giving out free coffees around 6pm and ended with an open forum around 9pm.
Me and my schoolmates were stunned how the actors and actresses performed so well. As beginners in the 'industry' of theater, we were in awe with their skills in acting. We were like "Did she really cry with tears?!" Hah.
The said show was written by our teacher herself. She was able to relate Shakespeare to a coffee. In the story, each person has her/his brew of coffee; Mochaccino, Frappe, etc. And each time she/he drinks a coffee from a Coffee Shop called "Cafe Shakespeare", the person starts to blurt out Shakespearean words from nowhere. The story emphasizes a family having a 'secret' ingredient to their coffee that brings out the inner Shakespearean of a person.
OVERALL-It was outstanding!!!
