Play at AFB
Workshop Productions, a new Bangalore-based theatre group, is all set to stage its second play called ‘Let’s Have Sex’, written by Valentine Krasnogrov and directed by Amjad Prawej, on June 15-16 at Alliance Francaise. The characters are driven by human emotions — loneliness, yearning for love, desire to escape problems — they never get past discussing or arguing about their favourite subject.
Says the girl: "People can sit in the same office for a hundred years, meet each other at parties, drink together and go to picnics every weekend, but that won't make them as close as a single night spent together." But for Krasnogorov's characters, consummation — however devoutly desired — remains elusive. The play is a comic and philosophical tour-de-force from a master of the Russian stage.
