Sairandhri

Welcome...  Thanks for visiting the "Sairandhri" page, we have embarked on an exciting journey called Sairandhri. Director’s Note:   Sairandhri is the common woman whom we take for granted in our everyday life. She is our mother, teacher, college girl, daughter or the representation of girl power. The true gamut of female power is unleashed in our play. All my plays without our knowledge talk about women empowerment, Hosabelaku, Bogie, 13 Margosa Mahal, Katha Sangama,Ammora Ganda have taken a look at this subject in different perspectives. But this production is the toughest in terms of handling and presentation. This during our rehearsals changed our perspective of how we look at women and their perspective of our world. We are sure that this would change the perspective of some audiences in our shows. P D Satish Chandra Play Concept Note:   Sairandhri - Story of our lifestyle  Our lives are heavy with burdens or what we want to refer to as being busy every minute. ...

"Raavadhana" Concept Note

The Story of Raavadhana All of us are from the school of thought which clearly describes and defines good and bad. Have we ever thought about the bad that is intrinsic to what we feel is good? Or have we ever felt the good that is a part of what we strongly consider bad? Confused? Disturbed? Raavadhana intends to give this feeling with each of the concepts that are discussed all along the play. The title might sound like a commercial gimmick and for most it might just take their mind to Maniratnam or SRK but this is not even close to any of those. A concept which is unique to itself and which truly challenges the capability of the creators, actors and the audiences is Raavadhana. So what does it mean? What is the title all about? Raavadhana – Raavana + Duryodhana Direction, Concept, Script & Ideation: P D Sathish Chandra Directors Note In 1996 after Ayodhya incident I took a lot of interest in the proposals made to the Hindus all over the country over whether there was a need for w...
