Severino Reyes Walang Sugat (2026)

"Walang Sugat" was written in 1907 and tells the story of a young woman named Juli, who is forced to marry a man she does not love. The play revolves around themes of love, sacrifice, and social class. The title "Walang Sugat" translates to "No Wound" or "No Hurt," which reflects the play's exploration of the characters' emotional struggles and the societal pressures they face.

Reyes wrote Walang Sugat during a censorship-heavy era. By setting the story during the Spanish Revolution, he was able to criticize the hypocrisy of the Church and the greed of the rich—targets that were still relevant under the new American flag. severino reyes walang sugat
