Legendary actress Cherie Gil portrays fashion icon Diana Vreeland in Full Gallop which will have a limited run from March 14 to 23, 2014 at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium at the RCBC Plaza in Makati. MyOwn Mann Productions, Inc. and Actor’s Actors Inc. present this one woman play under the direction of Bart Guingona.

Never before staged in the Philippines, Full Gallop, written by Mary Louise Wilson and Mark Hampton, focuses on Diana Vreeland, one of the fashion movers in America during her time. She served as the editor of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue magazines and was a member of the International Café Society. Full Gallop aims to introduce Vreeland to Filipino audiences whether or not they’re into the world of fashion.

This one woman play is a monumental task for Cherie Gil, one of the most well known villainesses in the Philippine entertainment industry owing to her memorable performance in Bituing Walang Ningning during the early 1980’s. She has also recently ventured into producing films with last year’s Sonata, directed by Peque Gallaga. During the 2000’s, Cherie Gil started to showcase her acting chops on the live stage starring in productions such as Doubt, Nine and Masterclass wherein she earned rave reviews in her portrayal of yet another icon, soprano Maria Callas.

Full Gallop will also feature the special participation of Giselle Töngi. The creative team is composed of Director Bart Guingona, Set Designer Joey Mendoza, Lighting Designer John Batalla, Costume Designer Rajo Laurel and Hair and Makeup by Ruben Nazareth.

The play opens with a Gala Night Premiere on March 14 with proceeds going to the Virlanie Foundation as they build houses in Negros affected by the super typhoon Yolanda.
