<p>The premiere of the play saw a big crowd, comprising people of all age groups, in addition to many renowned theatre personalities. <br /><br />‘Boy With A Suitcase’ is the story of a young boy, Naz, who leaves his war-<br />torn country and goes to London to live with his sister as his parents put him in a bus to save him from the ongoing war. <br /><br />Thus begins his journey to London, the land of ‘milk and honey’, which is filled with interesting people, experiences and stories. He meets a charming girl, Krysia, in the bus and together, they make their way through desert, mountain, sweat-shop, ocean and <br />finally, reach their destination. <br /><br />Fascinated by the story of ‘Sindbad The Sailor’, Naz entertains Krysia with his story-telling skills. Once he reaches his sister’s place, he realises that it is no more a ‘heaven on earth’ and the life there is not any better than his previous one.<br /><br />The play unfolded through the story-telling technique wherein Naz speaks about his <br />two-year long journey. <br /><br />It was filled with vivid human characteristics — bravery, compassion, fear and love — hence, making it a wonderful piece. Moreover, the performance was a blend of two <br />cultures in which Indian and German actors, musicians and technicians have worked together. <br /><br />The play was well-received by the audience and got a standing ovation at the end for its punching dialogues, humour and skilled artistes. <br /><br />The cast included Coordt Linke, David Benito Garcia, Konarak Reddy, M D Pallavi, Nikolai Jegorow, Shrunga B V and Simone Oswald. Shrunga B V as young Naz, Simone Oswald as Krysia and M D Pallavi as Naz’s mother and sister did a commendable job.<br /><br />The play was directed by Andrea Gronemeyer and music was given by Coordt Linke, Konarak Reddy and M D Pallavi. Sahana Prasad, a member of the audience, was elated after watching the show. <br /><br />“I was curious about the play as it was a combined effort of both German <br />and local artistes. Though the story was nothing great, the presentation was very good. I have watched around 10-15 plays at Ranga Shankara and each one has been a different experience altogether,” she said. <br /></p>
