Ms. Meena

Upto Sun, Feb 12
@ Ranga Shankara , JP Nagar

Ms. Meena is based on an original story written by Rashmi Ruth Devadasan, inspired by the classic play The Visit (1956) by the Swiss-German Playwright, Friedrich Durrenmatt. In our story, we have introduced an important element namely cinema, which was absent in the original. The essential lure of cinema and its promise of untold prosperity exerts a fatal attraction on an entire village and leads them into moral and ethical compromise. They play is not entirely serious however, but uses a combination of laughter and pathos to seduce the viewer much as cinema does. In the process, the distinction between the real and the reel becomes tenuous and both serve to lead the story to its inevitable end. Language: English Written by: Rashmi Ruth Devadasan Directed by: Rajiv Krishnan Time: 7.30pm (also at 3.30 pm on Sat and Sun)
