Aatankavaadiya Aakasmika Saavu

(No admission for children below 14 years)

Nobel Prize-winner Dario Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist (1970), relating to a bomb attack on a bank in Italy in the late 1960s, is a satirical rip-off on official corruption, specifically on the brutal methods of police interrogation that, often, result in death in custody. The problem, of course, is global, and Dario Fo locates it in the universality of a police station setting – a frightening enough place for most occasions. The process of an inquiry into the accidental death of a rebel/protester. Fo, however, dislocates the seriousness of the setting and the process of inquiry by a bizarre cross-examination, with the unintended and, occasionally, unselfconscious participation of the suspect policeman themselves in his unique ways, often hilarious, but always anchored to the reality and casual nature of police brutality.

Madime, the marriage, is about a family that traps in the consequences of arranging a marriage. The play reveals the biggest and most sensitive problem of arranging a marriage of a girl in a middle class family. When the arrangements are in progress, social issues like education, upbringing and dowry crop up.

To add spice to the already chaotic situation, an anonymous telephone call twists the entire proceedings. The family that is arranging this marriage is left to face with a lot of problems and in

turn becomes more vulnerable and miserable. The play is all about the family overcoming all these hurdles and how the marriage is arranged successfully.

Olakh Naa Paalakh

Funny old thing, the memories…take for instance yours…do you remember what you did last Monday? Is it something got to do with age? Apparently, you loose certain amount of brain cells everyday. So it stands to reason that sooner or later you are going to loose some that are carrying a vital bit of information; like where you put your car keys or the date of your marriage anniversary or whom you married to!

So imagine the plight of poor or cunning Ashok Garware…found unconscious at 4 am at Thane, without even slightest clue of how he got there…a classic case of total amnesia. And only a bruised head and suspicious police inspector Zarapkar for company, not an experience you’d forget in a hurry.

But then again, you have to see it from inspector Zarapkar’s point of view. Perhaps this Garware character is not what he seems. Perhaps he has got something to hide. Perhaps he has not lost his memory at all.

Perhaps it is all an elaborate cover up for something or other.
