Another weekend, another play at Rang Shankara.
This time it was Bikhre Bimb.
A solo performance by Arundhati Nag, directed and written
by Girish Karnad.
I read that it's a very popular play and has staged more
than 100 shows. Even yesterday it was houseful.
But personally I didn't enjoy it much.
The story is of a writer Manjula Nayak who used to write
in Kannada but suddenly publishes a Best Seller in English.
After a TV interview she is confronted by her own reflection
and slowly many hidden secrets, truths and lies of her personal life are
revealed.
The play uses a pre recorded clipping of the protagonist which is used
as her reflection. So it required an immaculate timing from Arundhati
to pull it off, which she did. This was a pretty novel idea.
