Indian Theatre

I went to see a play last night called Confessions. It was very dark comedy and entirely in English, although put together completely by Indians. On the whole it was a pretty good show but most of the actors were nothing special and the lighting scheme was thematically appropriate but poorly designed.

Anyway, the interesting part was that I ended up sitting next to a Bollywood actor couple from some national TV series. The woman left at intermission, apparently rather unimpressed by the show. The man stayed till the end "for the learning experience" and muttered 'good ending' when it finished (quite rightly) but seemed like kind of a dick.

It was thematically appropriate because it was very dark and poorly designed because you COULDN'T SEE. Basically the lighting in the photo didn't change too much. And happy birthday, nation.
