The Bridge Project
“I applaud the Bridge Project program that was born out of Filipino theater artists reaching out … to share knowledge and expertise. It’s not only the artists on stage, but also the audience who get exposed to how the rest of the world executes works such as this.”

2024 PRODUCTION RECAP: BETRAYAL
by Harold Pinter
TONY & OLIVIER AWARD WINNER LEA SALONGA:
“It’s brilliantly done, brilliantly directed … This might be one of the finest things I have seen anywhere in the world. It’s absolutely magnificent.”
Actor James Cooney
ABS CBN NEWS:
“Betrayal sees REP at its finest. This is no ordinary Repertory Philippines production … It was breathtaking.”
“Not only was this not any ordinary Repertory Philippines play, it wasn’t ANY ordinary play. Here’s hoping for more of these collaborations in the future.”
BUSINESS MIRROR:
“Director Victor Lirio takes a bold approach, weaving a fresh perspective into the fabric of Pinter’s timeless, Olivier Award-winning tale … This shift brings new layers to the story, prompting audiences to explore themes of social and gender inequality alongside the universal nuances of love, betrayal and memory.”
TATLER:
“Like approaching a painting, REP’s Betrayal invites audiences to an intimate look at love … and it’s hidden details one would discover with gratification and shock.”
THE WATCHLIST:
“Betrayal boasts a stellar cast of London-based Filipino actors James Bradwell, James Cooney, and Vanessa White … these talented performers breathe life into Pinter’s characters, capturing the new emotions and intricate dynamics of their intertwined lives.”
ADOBO MAGAZINE:
“Repertory Philippines’ Betrayal is a rare chance to be attentive and discerning as an audience. Its introspection of human nature as witty and of intimacy as organic attraction makes Betrayal a play that contains multitudes in every beat.”
INQUIRER:
“The Filipino experience in the case of Betrayal, is not merely tossed around for the sake of lip service. Rather, instead of being shoehorned into the plot, it is seamlessly woven into the very character of the play’s figures–one that it doesn’t even find the need to explicitly mention.”
“Through this reimagining of Betrayal, Lirio hopes to not only showcase Filipino talent but also expand the legacy of the play by offering a fresh perspective which reminds us that the dynamics of human relationships transcend cultural boundaries.”
