DALAWANG sikat at bigating Pinay stars ang babandera sa entablado sa darating na Oktubre.
Sila’y walang iba kundi ang broadway star na si Lea Salonga at ang Hollywood breakout na si Dolly de Leon.
Bibida sila sa kaabang-abang na Manila run ng 1971 play na “Request sa Radyo” by Franz Xaver Kroetz.
Sina Lea at Dolly ay magpapalitan sa kanilang solo piece performances.
“Request sa Radyo (Wunschkonzert / Request Program) is Franz Xaver Kroetz’s landmark theatrical piece that captures the poignant solitude of a woman through her meticulous evening routine,” saad sa synopsis ng nasabing play.
Kwento pa, “As she navigates her quiet, solitary life, her actions and her favorite radio program reveal the profound loneliness and yearning for connection that lie beneath.”

Ang theatrical play ay produced by Clint Ramos, Bobby Garcia, at Christopher Mohnani for Ayala Land and GMG Productions.
Sa isang pahayag, inamin ni Dolly na excited na siya para sa upcoming project na ito.
“I’m so looking forward to coming back to my first love, the theatre after five long years and I am equally excited that it is in ‘Request Sa Radyo’ – a play that is relevant and timely,” sey ng batikang aktres.
Chika naman ni Lea, “When I was asked by Clint and Bobby if I was interested at all in this project, an experience that told a probable and possible story that absolutely applies to our people, I said sure, even before knowing the details.”
“It will be a challenge though, but hopefully will lend a figurative voice to those who are suffering,” sabi pa ng iconic theater actress.

Kahit ang producers, nasasabik na rin sa magiging pagtatanghal na dalawang sikat na bituin.
“We are thrilled to bring this groundbreaking piece of art to life in Manila. Blurring the line between theater and performance art, Franz Xaver Kroetz’s wordless play speaks to the silent struggles of isolation and the deep human need for connection,” sambit nila.
Anila, “Through its minimalist approach and profound storytelling, grounded in a specific Filipino lived experience, this production invites audiences to find extraordinary meaning in the everyday. Featuring Tony and Olivier winner, Lea Salonga and Golden Globe and BAFTA Nominee, Dolly De Leon, two of the most internationally celebrated actors of their generation, ‘Request Sa Radyo’ is the can’t-miss event in international theatre in 2024.”
Ang “Request sa Radyo” ay masasaksihan mula October 10 hanggang October 20 sa Samsung Performing Arts Theatre sa Makati City.
