Pointers of first reading: By Chandan Shankar

The play reading started on a great note with a large mix of old and new ones in the attendee list and started on time. Writer Tejas narrated the entire script with a few water breaks and the audience were patient throughout and keenly observed and noted the nuances of the play.  The session after the reading invited thoughts and potential changes as a feedback to ensure the play engages and enthuses the audience.

Since the original play has a history of being performed successfully the translated version had a lot of interesting elements that were well retained and presented.  The list of to-do, were also many with a lot of suggestions coming to the table from almost everyone which proved that the story will enthuse audiences.

The suggestions ranged from tweaking to modifying to letting go of certain parts to adding few different characters. The writer absorbed most of it and hopefully has chosen the best ones to include and exclude as per his judgement and discretion.  The large turnout on the first reading made us happy and makes the second one an awaited encounter..
