was at this play yday at Rangashankara......an awesome theatre....has a cafe also which is open irrespective of whether the play happens or not....a nice decent place....
the theatre is just awesome....and mind u...they are really strict abt the timings as well....the doors close at 7.30 if it says 7.30 on the tickets.....
abt the play.....it was a stand up comedy.....something catching up in India but definitely nowhere compared to the foreign standards......the one liners were mostly the ones which keep repeating in the never ending chain mails......some of the jokes were 'horribly' perverted.....didnt like the play at all....
but considering that these guys do theatre as a passtime they were ok......they have a long way to catch up with the veterans....Jameel Khan for example.....one of the best solo comedy performers i have seen on stage.....(watch 'manto ismat haazir hai', play directed by Naseerudin shah)....
