That is so cool! You have given your best shot and that is great!

Would you share any video or pictures of your play?

Thank you :). There are no videos, but I think there are some photographs -- am waiting for them to be shared.

And, yes, I guess you're right -- giving it the best shot is what matters :).

Well, I think you are generally a little harsh on yourself, I rate you higher than you do yourself. I would have loved to have watched this. Any videos? I suppose not...

Ha ha. I know what you mean. On this occasion, though, I am anything but harsh on myself. I did the best I could -- but, given the efforts put in by the actors, maybe a little more time would have given justice to them.

Nope, no videos :).

Too cool! I am not surprised though :)
Hyderabad is theatre-less, so we actually miss out on that! Would have really liked to watch this! So do you guys take the initiative to bring in plays to cities that never have any :)?

Really? I think Hyderabad does have some sort of a theatre scene? At least, I remember that in one of our shows, this guy argued with the ticket-seller saying, "in Hyderabad, shows are free, why are you charging for it here?"

And, yes, we do have a fledgling plan in place to take our brand of theatre (improv based) to other cities. We're still setting it up, though.

Nope, the scene's pretty bad out here! One, they have like one play in like 2-3 months. And two, you hardly ever come to know when they came and went. So it's kinda sad. There are a couple of college troupes which perform once in a while, but that too is is rare. These are usually free, or have extremely low priced tickets, so the guy might have been referring to those.
