A Game of Trolls
On its upcoming 55th anniversary, PETA aptly streams its protest and advocacy play, Liza Magtoto’s martial law musical for millennials, A Game of Trolls, directed by Maribel Legarda with lyrics, composition, arrangement and musical direction by Vincent de Jesus via ktx.ph on April 8, 22, and 23.A Game of Trolls is created by the same two ladies behind the PETA megahit "Rak of Aegis" -- writer Liza Magtoto and director Maribel Legarda, with arrangement, musical direction and original songs written by Vincent de Jesus. The musical aims to educate the youth about the horrors of martial law, in a time of fake news and historical revisionism, while still using the language and sensibilities of millennial audiences.
A Game of Trolls is the story of a young man named Heck, who works as a keyboard warrior at a “troll center” that runs an online campaign in favor of martial law. At the same time, tensions rise between Heck and his mother, a former martial law activist who is trying to reach out to her son. All the while, ghosts of martial law victims creep out from the internet – ala A Christmas Carol – to haunt Heck, who is made to reevaluate his beliefs as he encounters them.
