It's all about women

The ‘Deccan Herald Theatre Festival’ is back this year with many more acts to entertain the City. The festival starts on February 7, with Jagriti performing the play ‘All About Women’ by Miro Gavran, which will be staged at Chowdiah Memorial Hall.  

Two sisters who are at loggerhead with each other and then their mother; three friends who are driven by ambition; three kindergarten girls and three ladies in a retirement home  — ‘All About Women’ interweaves the stories of sisterhood, motherhood, friendship and lovers in this magnum opus. Three actors manage to portray multiple characters with ease.

The play is by Miro Gavran,  a Croatian playwright and novelist, whose works have been translated into 35 languages. His plays have had more than 200 first nights worldwide and have been seen by more than two million theatregoers.

He is the only living playwright in Europe to have a theatre festival devoted to his work: the ‘Gavranfest’, founded in Slovakia in 2003, is held every year.

This play will also be staged at Jagriti on February 12 and 13, and at Rangashankara on March 3.

The tickets are available at the Deccan Herald, MG Road office, between 10 am to 5 pm (Monday to Saturday) and on www.indianstage.in and www.bookmyshow.com.  For details, call 25880147 / 141.
