MTG editorial

The play opens with an Annual General Meeting of a housing society, which starts out amicably, but later, after a series of bizarre circumstances, is propelled to its doom. The meeting, which symbolizes law, order and civility, goes to pieces when fear, mistrust, suspicion and prejudice take over - shattering the basis of a secular society based on mutual respect. The mask of civility is peeled off, layer by layer and the core of bigotry is exposed, becoming an ugly mirror of the current human situation.

BLACK WITH EQUAL

Writer/Director: Vickram Kapadia
Cast: Utkarsh Mazumdar, Suhita Thatte, Dinyar Tirandaz, Jaimini Pathak, Raja Sevak, Dilnaz Irani, Daniel D'Souza, Seema Mishra, Jayesh More, Ajay Jayram and Vickram Kapadia.

Writer and Director Vickram Kapadia says: "A world of chaos provoked me to write this play after September 2001 and the current world of further chaos has prompted me to stage it again. And we have no option but to laugh at ourselves or else we would emotionally breakdown- perhaps"

Unity does not mean uniformity. Yet we have come to a stage where we are distrustful of difference of any kind - whether of culture, caste, community, gender or language. In these communally troubled times, this play becomes particularly relevant as it reminds us of the age-old truth that harmony does not mean homogeneity.

Date - 7th June 2015
Venue - Tata Theatre, NCPA
Time - 7:00 pm
