"Who says that you have to write in a Filipino language to capture the Filipino soul on stage? Who says that fishermen and their wives, or rural persons of all ages, must speak in local tongues to be believable? Other outstanding Filipino playwrights have also written in English, of course--Joaquin, Guerrero, Florentino, Tinio, and Pichay among others--all in their unique ways. But Glenn [Sevilla Mas] follows his own path. He uses a cadence that approximates native speech, spices his lines with words in Kinaray-a, and writes with a directness one expects from his characters. The result is dazzling on stage."
Dr. Ricardo G. Abad Artistic Director, Tanghalang Ateneo and Founding Director, Fine Arts Program Loyola Schools, Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City "The Feline Curse" is a striking, original, unusual piece of work with great clarity of expression and real elegance of style."
Prof. Thomas Arthur James Madison School of Theatre and Dance Harrisonburg, Virginia "With the concrete vividness of art, Mas's plays bring the culture and the people of the Philippines, specifically his province, Antique, to us in the United States. The places in which the actions are set enter us through all our senses. [His plays have] two constants: a powerful sense of authenticity of human experience, and a skillful and imaginative manipulation of dramatic structure. Glenn Sevilla Mas is more than a Philippine writer. He is a brilliant interpreter of our world."
Dr. Roland L. Reed Writer-in-Residence The International Stanislavsky Theater Studio Washington, DC
