dear chandradasan,
i am an ardent fan of malayalam movies and realistic drama.. but, have never been to a traditional theatre performance before yesterday (partly because, i am only an ocassional visitor to kochi these days, because of being employed in bangalore).. yesterday was when i had the opportunity to watch karnnabharam as part of the pranamam festival.. man, it was amazing.. i had never imagined that traditional theatre could actually hold somebody like me (who is watching a traditional performance for the first time) truly glued to the play for the entire length.. u truly have done a wonderful job.. and am sure u have other wonderful plays in ur repertory.. i read ur blog almost completely.. truly agree with you regarding the lack of performance spaces.. and people, am sure, would be willing to pay and watch such excellent works.. btw, i have a small suggestion.. would u be able to, in ur blog or elsewhere, have a list of something like 'upcoming events' where u put up dates, timings and locations of where lokadharmi's plays are being staged, well in advance.. i live in bangalore, and am sure me (and at least a few malayalees whom i know, in bangalore) would be only very glad to cancel any activities planned for that evening and come and watch ur play.. and me and people like me can forward such information to mailing lists of malayalees in bangalore/kochi and other cities thru new gen communication channels like mailing lists and so on so that more people would be exposed to the traditional malayalam theatre..
thanks in advance for the wonderful play and for your time in reading this comment..
