TARAMANDAL

A play about unfinished ambitions, Taramandal borrows the protagonist and his fate from Satyajit Ray’s short story Patol Babu, Filmstar. Neel Chaudhuri, the winner of the MetroPlus Playwright Award 2010 for Taramandal, weaves in a host of other characters into the play with touches of humour, a “sadness that has lightness,” as it journeys towards disillusionment. The desire to be a success in theatre and movies gives heartbreaks to a host of other characters belonging to different age groups and diverse milieus in Chaudhuri’s play.

Taramandal, 1 May - 7pm, 2 May - 3pm & 7pm, (2 hrs), Akshara Theatre, Delhi. For further information, email tadpoletheatre@gmail.com
