New Sense

MISF!T is revealing its brand new play “Pancake Helen” to the public this weekend. The Satirical whodunit will truly leave you in splits…

This is one of the plays I have been looking forward to watch for a while now. Ever since I first read the play I have wanted to be a part of it but unforeseen circumstances kept me away from the play… But now the play is here! I am thrilled that it is going to be performed this weekend and the fact that a very dear friend of mine, Venky is directing it, is truly a bonus. The ensemble is some of the best actors I have seen and shared the stage with.

Trust me this is one play you wouldn’t want to miss…

Dates and Time
SATURDAY 24th OCTOBER – 7.30 PM
SUNDAY 25th OCTOBER – 4 PM & 7.30 PM

My second performance on stage was a play involving two other actors and the rehearsals happened to occur during the monsoons. My co-actors(one male and one female) were game to come in for rehearsals even when the heavens were pouring for hours. This happened one such evening when I managed to beat the rain and arrive at the designated place for the rehearsals.

The other male co-actor also arrived partially drenched but when the female lead arrived, she looked like she had been swimming. We offered to cancel the days proceedings considering she looked almost like a fish out of water But she insisted we do the rehearsals as planned and that she would be fine.

It was then that I remembered a song that I really loved and quiet spontaneously sang it for her, hoping to make her feel better.

Ek ladki bheegi bhagi si…
Soti raaton mein jaagi si
Mili ik ajnabi se… Koyi aage na peechhe…
Tum hi kaho ye koyi baat hai…

To my surprise my co-actors joined in and what happened next was one of the most memorable days in Theater

It was the day before the show that the feeling truly hit me. I was standing in the center of the stage and suddenly there was this overwhelming feeling of being drowned, it felt like my lungs were searching for that extra bit of air to save my life. In the midst of all the commotion and the running around, for the first time I knew what all of this meant…

I watched the premier show of Evam’s “Doubles, Triples and Quadruples” at Rangashankara last evening. The play was a fun ride combined with lots of laughs, some touching moments and some surprises.

I had personally a memorable and delightful evening thanks to EVAM and the crowd present there… But before I talk about that here are my thoughts about the play.

Me: I cant believe you couldn’t wait for 15 min…
Her: I had to leave, I would have stayed if I could… Besides I watched the play didn’t I.
Me: How do I know if you did? You weren’t there at the end…
Her: (Raising her eyebrows) So now I have to prove that I was there…
Me: So what did you think of it?
Her: Pretty good stuff. I liked your co actors they were real good…
Me: Yep they is pretty talented actors.
Her: I read the original story from which the play was adapted… Pretty good stuff… Both the original and the adaptation
(I just smiled back at her)
Her: Now don’t fish for compliments… you know you were good.
Me: Well me and compliments have a very weird relationship.
