Hi guys 
Got a chance to see FLOWERS by Rajit Kapur (Byomkesh Bakshi fame) at Rangashankara. It was a 60 min monologue, where Rajit Kapur has played the role of Head priest of a temple and is caught between his dedication towards God and love towards a courtesan. Very well written drama by Girish Karnad and amazing acting by Mr Kapur. Rajit has taken care of all the aspects of a monologues theatre - Pitch, Pause, stress, voice modulations.
Summary of play is as follows (Taken from Rangashankara website):
Girish Karnad's new play is a dramatic monologue about a devoted and pious priest who violates both his ‘dharma’ and his ‘bhakti’ because of his love for a courtesan. Torn between his love for his god and his love for Chandravati, between his duty to the king and his duty to his wife, the priest tells the story of his life after matters have come to a head and all his loves and his duties collide on a single night. Once again, Karnad takes a folk tale about the human condition and refreshes it with a contemporary sensibility that embraces love, loyalty and honour.
So.. what say... Let's MASS BUNK our office   and go to watch this Play 
Cheers!
