After enough research and discussion and time wasting on deciding which movie to watch this weekend, it was Sushma(my wife) 's idea to watch this drama at Ranga Shankar this Saturday(04-07-2009). We had to buy the tickets a day in advance as it was a play which had notable names associated with it (and was a weekend as well).
Yes, it was the troupe Sanket, the dream child of Kannada actor Shankar Nag performing this. It was S Surendranath who adapted this from Herb Gardener’s “I am not Rappoport”.
Its about the energy of a elderly man who has this knack of changing his profession as and when the situation demands. He becomes a retired policeman who tries to fight a goon, a advocate fighting to save his friend's job whom he meets daily at the park. Come what may, he would never stop fighting for what he feels is right. There are so many dangerous situations that he gets stuck in and would somehow manage to get out of.
The script is so humourous that you have your ears wide open all the time, not to miss even a single word uttered amidst the huge cheer from the crowd. B Suresh is the focal point in the entire play with Yenagi Natraj (son of the famous theater icon Yenagi Balappa) perfectly filling the role of his friend. Never forgotten are all those North Karnataka slangs that these two share between them.
A play defenitely worth watching :)
