The final Creeping

If you haven't seen this play so far (this is the 10th show!!! where have you been?) now is your chance!

A few quotes:

"… the characters appear to transform into two pieces broken from a single soul — the soul of the city." "…the cast is brilliant."
- Deccan Herald

"Two related observations strike the viewer immediately about Ram Ganesh Kamatham’s work, of which, I think, Creeper is his most mature statement to date. One, the freshness of the language, his finely tuned (and not simply caricaturing) ear for the English that Indians actually speak; and two, what might be called the startling 21st century 'now'ness of the worlds he asks us to live in. If such a strong emphasis on the contemporary might easily lead (and has led, in the work of others) to another desperately trendy mishmashed disaster of a play, Kamatham succeeds through a deft and even classical engagement with form, edgy humour, and a darkly political seriousness of purpose. It’s not for nothing that in Creeper, Kamatham riffs off an old Sanskrit tale of horror and morality; his is not the triumphant celebration of Indian arrival that you see so often in the local and foreign press. We might even achieve our dream of being a hyper-modern, powerful, rich and even 'first world' country, Kamatham seems to be telling us, but it might in the end turn out a nightmare."
-Vivek Narayanan

"Ram Ganesh Kamatham's Creeper is not only a bold play in the manner in which it produces theatrical meaning, it speaks with immediacy to all of us who have felt orphaned in our own city, who experience it as a story of aching loss and dispersal, rather than as a steel-chrome-glass narrative of rising and shining. Abhishek Majumdar and Mallika Prasad do more than live up to the script's demand for actors with immense stamina and range. They attack the first half of the text with astonishing panache, energy and comic timing, while also plumbing the emotional depths of the surprisingly different second half with poignancy and heartrending conviction. Not to be missed, particularly by anyone asking if theatre in English has a future in this country."
- Anmol Vellani

"The acting was spontaneous – Abhishek is exceptional in his frenetic, anxious intensity as the outsider in Bangalore and Mallika is spirited in her natural, refreshing nostalgia as an old Bangalorean."
- The Hindu

"Ceeper provides a fascinating insight into the way in which individuals living in highly industrialized cities begin to internalize ideas, relationships and through systems more commonly associated with technology and machines. The interplay between the characters' notions of mortality and the permanence of the virtual work is particularly sharp."
