Blood Song
It was the
title of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's brilliant novelle - Chronicle of a
Death Foretold that provided the key for this adaptation. Clearly, Lorca
intended us to understand from the very start of his play that a death
is about to occur. Five minutes after the start of the play, all the
elements of the infernal machine that will lead to violent death are in
place: a knife, a blood feud, are mentioned which already killed a
husband and a first-born son. There is another son too, who bears the
burden of this terrible heritage. All that is left is to watch
helplessly, as this tragedy unfolds. However, since the death at the end
is prefigured in the beginning, the play can be looked at differently,
mixing time frames to emphasize the tragic inevitability of the events
of the story. This is the premise that underlines Blood Song, the
adaptation of Lorca's Blood Wedding. Remaining totally faithful to
Lorca's hidden structure and to the poetic nature of the play, in Blood
Song the original linear time frame is replaced by a poetic, circular
and cumulative structure.

This - A Thought Provoking Comedy
This is a
superbly crafted funny, witty, sharp, self-deprecating & wholly
truthful take on four urban 30 somethings who are past their youthful
sheen and are now negotiating the Rest of Their Lives. Ever had that
sinking feeling that your life doesn't add up to anything significant?
You're not alone. Jane is a poet-without-a-muse, a single mother trying
to reignite her life after she suddenly loses her husband. Marell and
Tom are exhausted parents of a baby who sleeps in 15 minute increments -
treading some seriously shaky marital ground. And Alan, cursed with
perfect memory, is searching for a place to start from some sort of
scratch.

Amanush
H.K.Madhav's - Amanush,
give me youth with muscles of iron and nerves of steel and I shall
change the destiny of the nation said Swami Vivekananda, but the
children of today, the so called citizens of tomorrow, burdened as they
are with heavy loads of work both at school and home end up drained
physically, psychologically as well as intellectually. The present play
looks at children who are pressurized into total and abject surrender to
the whims and fancies of the parents who try to force them to do things
which they could not achieve. A child who is supposed to educate
himself enjoying the process, today as result of the system and
untenable educational policies finds himself at the wits end and the
consequences of this could in long term be disastrous. The end result of
all this busy busy lifestyle could lead to dysfunctional tendencies in
the child and is actually reflected in the rising numbers of juvenile
crimes and juvenile delinquents and more importantly juvenile suicides
