WHAT
At Curtain Call, we create intimate virtual spaces to read different thematic plays. Each reading is followed by an in-depth, guided discussion on the various themes. You do not require any prior experience in theatre or acting.
PLAY FOR JANUARY 2021 - ON A MUGGY NIGHT IN MUMBAI by MAHESH DATTANI
TRIGGER WARNING - Explicit language, suicide, depression
Six friends meet one night, and embark on a journey of self discovery while forging new sexual ethics. This play, is one of the earliest and loudest voices on queer lives in India. Located in Mumbai, there is a lot of contextual understanding of particularly urban, middle class queer persons in India, navigating love, companionship, trust, betrayal and society. Packed with refreshing prose, that will crack you up, while making you comfortable about your biases, and cause you to self reflect. The play covers gender, sexuality, relationship, mental health and societal oppression.
HOW
Each participant is, randomly ascribed a character. They read the lines, and pour their emotions into the lines. Post reading, we engage in a robust discussion to unpack various themes and foster diverse perspectives on the various concepts and issues emerging in the play.
This month's reading is followed by a discussion with the playwright and Sahitya Akademi Award Recipient, Mahesh Dattani.
For this month, participants will have to be present for both days, 23rd and 24th January 2021.
