“Transistor’s Love Story” (Teeraphan, Bangkok, 2022) A Theatrical Review
<p>“Transistor’s love story” is a book written by Wat Wallayanggoon. Penake Rattanaruang made it a film in 2001. I remembered indulging in watching it as a young boy. For a while, I have heard that someone will make it into a theatre. And that while is about two years now. I believe these two years have changed many people’s lives. Someone quit theatre, and some moved to a different country or career. Everybody seeks refuge in the light of the pandemics and whirlwind of recessions. Shakespeare always writes about ordinary people’s lives as a comedy, for example, in Twelve Nights and Much Ado about Nothing. Wat Wallayanggoon did a similar thing by writing “Transistor’s love story,” a lighthearted novel. In his first theatrical direction, Teeraphan directed the show as though it were Hamlet. He “holds the mirror up to nature.” And by holding this mirror, he holds it from farms in the rural area, hoping to reflect the lives of everyone involved. Those people are audiences, theatre-makers, and actors. However, those people stand in Bangkok, Thailand’s capital city.</p>
