The MetroPlus Theatre Fest returns
Three days. Three plays. Three stories with countless twists and turns. Good guys, bad guys. Realism and escapism. Folklore and slapstick. Music, lights, action. The MetroPlus Theatre Fest is about to unfold.
This second edition of the Fest brings three starkly different productions to the Bangalore stage from August 5 to 7, which will be held at Chowdiah Memorial Hall at 7.30 p.m. Each proudly individual, and each special for very different reasons.
The Real Inspector Hound
Quaff Theatre (Mumbai)
August 5
Who can resist a good old whodunit? Though, to be honest, this isn't entirely a whodunit. It's not entirely a comedy either. There is a substantial amount of mystery. Also plenty of laughs. And, of course, there's a murder. In an old country house. It's all very Agatha Christie. (Conjure up “The Mousetrap” in your head for the appropriate stage and props.) A closed setting. A list of suspects.
One of them is the killer.
Created by Tom Stoppard, this play is a rollicking example of Theatre of The Absurd. It's also a satire, a farce, a parody. Confused? Well, this production, directed by Nayantara Kotian and Prashant Prakash of Quaff Theatre, gets even more rambunctiously convoluted.
Mainly because two theatre critics get sucked into the action. Moon is a second-string theatre critic, a jealous stand-in for Higgs, who's far more established. Birdboot, also a theatre critic, is a married womanizer who writes dazzling reviews to ensnare dazzling actresses. To add to the chaos, there's a madman at large in the deadly marshes region. Inspector Hound, who is masterminding the operation, is not available for comment. But it is widely believed that he has a secret plan. We hope it's more intuitive than the present plan: police and volunteers combing the swamps shouting, “Don't be a madman, give yourself up.”
Get involved with the twists, turns, and somersaults that weave their way through all the conventions of a murder mystery with a high-power cast that includes Bollywood actor Kalki Koechlin. You will be guessing all the way.
Trailing my Mamet Duck
Evam (Chennai)
August 6, 2011
What do ducks have to do with all the drama of your life? Well, we're pleased to introduce you to David Mamet, whose 1972 play, “The Duck Variations” introduced a convenient metaphor for love and longing, happiness and loss, fears and failings. Mamet, a Pulitzer-winning playwright, developed a style of writing dialogue that was so distinctive, with it's cynical slant and street-smart edge that it began to be called ‘Mamet speak'. Now watch his prose come to life — with a twist.
