THE TALL, HUNGRY GHOSTS WITH GIGANTIC HANDS (2012, Tanawat Gatatigorn, stage play, A+30)
เปรตมือบาน (ธนวัต กตาธิกรณ์)
I worship the script of this play. Highly recommended for those who love THE NASTY GIRL (1989, Michael Verhoeven) and THE POB'S HOUSE (2010, Ukrit Sa-nguanhai).
This play is about what happens in a village when it is found out that some donation money for a temple is stolen. A man wants to establish a system in which the head monk cannot abuse the donation money, but when this man expresses his opinion, every villager accuses him of suspecting the head monk as the thief. To suspect the head monk is something unforgiveable in the villagers' eyes. The man and his daughter soon die in a mysterious circumstance. The villagers believe that the man and his daughter will be reborn as Pret, or a kind of very tall, hungry ghosts, because this man dares to suspect the head monk. The villagers curse this man with extremely harsh, but somehow familiar, words.
"Will we reborn as Pret?" the ghost of the daughter asks the ghost of her father.
"Look at yourself. Do you see that you look like Pret?" the father replies.
"No. We still look the same as when we are alive. So where will our spirits go now?"
"Surely our spirits will go to the place which is much better than the world of these villagers."
