Dubbed VLF 2020 "Kapit", 10 main featured plays, as well as staged readings and revisited plays, will have their live online performance premieres on the first week of the festival, starting June 10.
With the relentless belief that storytelling must continue and present the special edition of Virgin Labfest, the Cultural Centre of the Philippines, Tanghalang Pilipino, and Writers' Bloc will be making the annual theatre festival of untried, unstaged, and untested works on 10 to 28 June. Live performances will be free and available for streaming on CCP's Facebook page on its first premieres and will continue to be available for replay until the last day of the festival.
Here are the 10 featured works, three revisited plays, and five staged readings for this year's Virgin Labfest with the theme "Kapit".
DOGGY

Jane doesn't like certain sexual positions, especially "Doggy." For Mark, this peculiarity about his fiancée has always been a source of repressed anger.
