The play , directed by Alyque Padamsee, written by Girish Karnad and produced by Raëll Padamsee, will be staged at Chowdiah Memorial Hall on June 4, 7.30 pm.
This is a psychological thriller that rips the mask off a celebrity. The twenty-first century is the age of the electronic image. From every corner of our world, electronic images fling themselves at us, entertaining, educating, enticing and offering us a virtual world.
Manjula Sharma is not a very successful Hindi short-story writer. She suddenly becomes wealthy and internationally famous by writing a best-seller in English. The question haunting Manjula is, whether in opting for the global audience, has she betrayed her own language and identity? Now, without warning, it’s her own ‘image’ that decides to play confessor, psychologist and inquisitor.
