VELOSO. Topbills political drama.

LAYETA Bucoy is a cum laude graduate with a BA degree in Communication Arts from UPLB. She is now a prolific playwright and scriptwriter who won awards for her writing. Her latest play, “Walang Kukurap,” produced by Tanghalang Pilipino at CCP and directed by Tuxqs Rutaquio, examines the country’s political landscape.

The cautionary play, starring Suzette Ranillo and Lou Veloso, creatively handles its theme, “Corruption in the government is the norm rather than the exception,” and its characters are familiar and recognizable.
