Set in contemporary Manila, PETA’s stage adaptation of BONA evolves around Eugene Domingoin the title role, a spinster call center agent who becomes a fan of Gino Sanchez, essayed by Edgar Allan Guzman as a contestant in the talent search Star of Tomorrow. Blinded by her obsession on Gino, Bona turns her back on everything she values and gives up nearly everything she has. Caught in a quicksand of worship and pity, Bona proves how obsession may overpower love and even lead to a person’s demise.
Featuring Eugene Domingo, Edgar Allan Guzman, Phil Noble, Joey Paras, Raffy R. Tejada, Jef Henson-Dee, Shé Maala, Uleb Nieto, BJ Forbes, Gabs Santos, Dudz Terana, Jason Barcial, Junevir Tabor, Anna Luna and Juliene Mendoza.
