silence!!! the court is in session!


last weekend was time for another play. and this time a GOOD one.
we went for this play called 'silence! the court is in session!' an english translation of an originally marathi play.
i think it was a really really well written play, and the actors enacted it really well. held our attention for the whole duration. they made us laugh, wonder, feel sad, angry all in those 2 hours.
everyone from the lead lady, to the village bumpkin, to the lawyer, to the lady who mocked, they were all perfect!
the play made me think again about how easily we form our middle class notions and even if we believe otherwise, how difficult it is to oppose them. how naturally we believe things to be good, and how easy it is to get into trouble and noone will give you the benefit of doubt.
i think we should all get to see more of these.
thanks to aayisha for getting taking us along to watch this one, and a spl thanks to Harish who was a part of this. :)
