Well the reading was a disaster. Thanks so much to everyone who showed up and gave their time to make it happen! And special thanks to Q for hosting it!
I think the problem with the play is that it is just doing too many things at the same time. And I seem to be unable to balance the play out at this point in my evolution. I'm unable to let each story fully realise itself and have ended up squashing the entire action into a 90 minute format. I've also come to realise how vulnerable a play really is...
A play is an organic entity, capable of dropping dead on your hands if you don't treat it right. This brings up my "dead" play tally to "three" and I'm not at all keen on pushing that number up.
Annoyed and unhappy.
Bleargh!

It's alive!!! - Creeper - a new play
Well guess what!
It's here - raw, corrosive and ready to bite - I am happy to announce:
Creeper
written and directed by Ram Ganesh Kamatham
Saturday 13th October 2007 (7:30pm) and
Sunday 14th October 2007 (3:30pm and 7:30pm)
at Ranga Shankara, 8th Cross, 2nd Phase, JP Nagar, Bangalore - 78
Tickets: Rs 100/- available at the venue
Contains explicit language - Not suitable for persons below the age of 18 - Late entry not permitted
Synopsis
This is a story about two people in this city.
She is writing an essay and trying to understand an ancient demon.
He is online all the time, exploring dark corners of the Internet.
She is the expert narrator, he is a mischievous sutradhar. These two story-tellers have amazing stories to share. Problem is they don't agree on how to tell the story!
Creeper is a modern re-imagination of the tale of Vikram and Betal. The play slams this ancient cycle of folk-tales into a contemporary urban setting – creating a shadowy world that is immediately recognizable, yet bizarre and entertaining.
Darkly funny yet poignant, the play freewheels between the old and the new – creating a landscape that happily contains – pornography, literary theory, orkut, Chandamaama comics, exorcism, blogging, a B-grade television serial, Bram Stoker, Silk Smitha, foul language, Kurt Cobain, a big tree with a Barbie doll nailed onto it and a magical box with something inside.
Currently in its experimental avatar, Creeper will open in a bare bones production in less than two weeks. Do come and see it... And please don't bring the kids!
