Theft – A Play

March 4, 2006 by Haas

I had the pleasure of catching Eric Chappel’s play Theft yesterday at Rangashankara. The play is a laugh riot and if there is one play to watch this one is pretty much it. I hv seen 3 plays in the last 8 days and this one I enjoyed more than the other two.

Top Cast professionalism on the stage was shown by the echoing laughter in the audience. The play is over 2 hrs long and at the end you just dont want it to stop…

The play is about a couple who return from their anniversary party with a couple of old friends to realize that their home has been burgled. The catch is that the thief is still in the house and hiding without their knowledge. The play swirls slowly into the lives of the four characters each reveled by conversations with the thief(who gets caught). The thief is amazingly good at talking his way out of situations and lives up to his name of “Greasy” Spriggs.

Some more Humor….

John works in a supermarket. A man came in and asked John for half a kilogram of butter. The boy told him they only sold 1 kg packets of butter,but the man was persistent. The boy said he’d go ask his manager what to do.

John walked into the back room and said, “There’s a bloody fellow out there who wants to buy only half a kilo of butter.” As he finished saying this he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he added,

Had been to Wonder la with a bunch of pals yesterday… One hell of a place, total fun fiesta from the start to the end. The rides were amazing and the waterpark totally cool… An even more intresting thing happened later in the day when we had gone to the temple…

The temple thing is short so will talk about that first… So there I was with mom and dad standing in the queue to get the darshan. The queue was long… i mean almost half a km and with a speed of a few cm/min it would hv taken us eazily 4 hrs to get there.

Mixed Doubles – A Review

Rating: **1/2
(Lowest: * Highest: *****)

Relationships are again put under the microscope and this time in a Rajat Kapoor film called “Mixed Doubles”. The movie talks about a couple who hv been married for 10 yrs… who are introduced to the world of Wife swapping and Open relationships…

Ranvir Shorey and Konkona Sen Sharma play the couple who have been married for over 10 years with a school going son… Almost all is well in paradise except that nothing has been recently happening in bed. The guy is worried that his wife is assuming that he is going impotent and She thinks she is no longer attractive to her man…

To add to the spice of all the confusion in comes a American friend who in a friendly conversation says that the reason for him being all healthy and cool is Swinging and Wife Swaping… and all hell breaks loose. The guy is now determined to give it a try and tries his best to convince his wife.

To Be or Not To Be…

Had been yesterday to Rangashankara to catch the play “Hamlet” with my collegues from Applibase. The play was the first play I hv been to in almost a decade and it was worth all the running around :P.

The Indianized version of the play had (hold ur breath) Duality(2 ppl playing almost every char), Dialouges in English(classical lines by Shakespeare), Hindi, Tulu and Kannada. 3 forms of Dramatics(Dhrupad, Yakshagana and Theatre), 2 ppl playing Hamlet(one being a really beautiful girl :P ) and some hilarious sequences.

Fortunately Preethi had given us all a link to a summary of Hamlet, so we were not taken back by this flavour of it. If you hv not read it, please do before you go to the play its worth the effort.
