Directed by Maribel Legarda, written by Liza Magtoto with music & lyrics, by Vincent de Jesus, this musical about Martial Law premiered back in 2017 which seems like ages ago when one thinks of the pre-pandemic era. But it has remained relevant nowadays when troll armies ran amuck with history, specifically the Marcos regime, getting revised at a crucial time with just a few weeks left before the upcoming presidential elections.

A Game of Trolls is the story of a young man named Heck (Myke Salomon), who works as a keyboard warrior at a “troll center” that runs an online campaign in favor of martial law. At the same time, tensions rise between Heck and his mother (Upeng Galang-Fernandez), a former martial law activist who is trying to reach out to her son. All the while, ghosts of martial law victims creep out from the internet – ala A Christmas Carol – to haunt Heck, who is made to reevaluate his beliefs as he encounters them.
