An abstract but interesting play in Hindi, English, Bengali, French, written and enacted by Kalki Koechlin and directed by Manav Kaul. The theme is demystifying Tagore in contemporary times.

The Straight Proposal
“The Straight Proposal” is a play about homosexual men –some closeted to their wives and children, some to their parents, their professional world, and their siblings. The story revolves around a school teacher and his lovers who are driven by the old forces of hunger for love and acceptance.
9 parts of Desire
A part of Mahendra Excellence in Theatre Awards (META) which is known to bring quality theatre to theatre lovers, “9 Parts of Desire” fell short of our expectations. Ira enacted the roles of several women who had faced the repercussions of the Iraq war.
Taming of the Wild – Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2014
Though puppet theater added variety to Bharat Rang Mahotsav, Taming of the Wild wasn’t very impressive as the focus was all on the looks of the puppets, not much on the storyline or execution. Puppet theater is not just for kids… It can communicate much more and to a wider gamut of audience.
Saudagar – Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2014
Saudagar (Based on Brecht’s Exception and the Rule) failed to impress. The bad rich man vs the nice poor guy is a topic even Bollywood shunned a couple of decades back. We wonder why theater folks are still hanging on to these age old topics.
Alka – Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2014
A yawn-able play from Little Thespian group that deals with the story of a middle aged couple and their adopted children. The whole script was pointless and acting shoddy… Very disappointed with this offering from Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2014
Anji – Bharat Rang Mahotsav 2014
An abstract but entertaining play touching many a lesser talked about social issues – girls marriageable age, importance of looks in finding a match…. an alternative take on rape etc along with tons of laughter using catchy punchlines and gimmicks made “Anji” an almost masterpiece.
