Filipino literature fans and theatre enthusiasts are in for a treat as the beloved best-selling novel Para Kay B by Ricky Lee is set to hit the stage in an exciting theatrical adaptation. Presented by LA Production House and Fire & Ice Live, this highly anticipated production will run from March 14 to 30, 2025, at the Doreen Black Box Theater, Ateneo de Manila University.
“Fire & Ice Live is about creating experiences and amplifying stories of the unseen, and Para Kay B embodies that—it’s a raw, witty, and unfiltered exploration of love’s unpredictability, the heartbreaks we endure, and the rare but magical exceptions to the rule. Being part of this production, both as an actress and as a producer, feels like coming home to a story that has touched so many hearts. Playing Ester is deeply personal, as it mirrors my own journey of discovering love beyond expectations,” says Liza Diño, CEO of Fire & Ice Live and actress portraying Ester in the play.
An Iconic Story Brought to the Stage
Adapted for theatre by the acclaimed Eljay Castro Deldoc, a three-time first prize winner of the Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards, and a comeback to directing for Yong Tapang, Jr. who helmed the 2019 film “Doon Sa Isang Sulok,” Para Kay B explores the complexities of love through the intertwined lives of Lucas, Bessie, Ester, Sandra, Irene, and Erica.
“People need to see Para Kay B because it speaks to a lot of generations. It is a literary masterpiece that served as a roadmap to a generation looking for love, loss, moral, and social issues. Love letter din namin ito sa mga manunulat at sa artists na patuloy naghahanap ng mga kwento,” says Tapang on why the public must see the play.
This adaptation is set to deliver an emotionally charged and visually compelling experience, staying true to the novel’s essence while adding a fresh theatrical perspective.
