WHAT THEY’RE SAYING…

“Tambunting…was a revelation. Melchior is ultimately the lead character of the play, and he manages to really hold the entire thing together. There’s an earnestness and authenticity about him that really makes the character work.”
- Wanggo Gallaga, Inquirer
“Nacho Tambunting delivers a strong performance, imbuing Melchior with a sensitivity that makes you root for him at his best—and wince when his impulses get the better of him. There’s an unmistakable boy-next-door quality to his portrayal, making his Melchior relatable (really, a 19th-century German relatable to a 2026 Filipino), but I guess that's the magic of his characterization.”
