Five Point Someone by The Madras Players

Am not a great theater enthusiast. This is my second visit to a play. I thoroughly enjoyed my first play couple of months back and this prompted me to look forward to this play. I did quite a bit of homework to find out that The Madras Players were doyens in the field of theater acts.

I was a little apprehensive as to whether they will be able to do justice to the characters and the book. I must admit they did do a really good job. The way the adaptation was done by itself was brilliant and the actors actually played their characters brilliantly. I do not have the experience and the expertise (or rather I didn't find any difference) to comment on the way they spoke English, i found it to be just fine. I really liked big eyed uttara krishnadas a lot, she sparkled in the small role she had. I just should not comment on the veterans Mr. PC Ramakrishna and Co, they were brilliant. Incidentally, the director was supposed to be the youngest in terms of directing theater plays and she had done a brilliant job on the direction front.

Overall, the two hours spent there was worth every penny and am looking forward to watching more plays now.
