These two plays dissect the violence inflicted on Filipinos by Filipinos.
Country in Search of a Hero is a full-length satirical play on the three mortal sins of the Martial Law Regime: the torture and killing of student activists, the Manila Film Center cover-up, and the theft of the Golden Buddha, symbol of greed for the Yamashita Gold.
On the other hand, A Significant Life, a full-length dramatic play, exposes how a revolution devours its own children. The questions remain: Will the revolutionary of the 20th century become a lost specie? Will he evolve into the terrorist of the 21st Century?
