The art of drama at Ranga Shankara



It was a call from a friend who said let's go and watch a play at RangaShankara and I thought why not as I haven't seen one. Well iam not a great drama enthusiast as I felt it was a kind of boring stuff meant for the art lovers with long hairs but I must say I loved the play as it was very engaging & entertaining as well.

It was a hindi play called " Bikhre Bimb" acted by Arundathi Nag written and directed by Girish Karnad. The play only had only one single actor performing on stage. Well I was really astonished to see how a single actor on stage holding the attention of the audience for an hour and a half, I personally felt it was amazing performance by her which was well executed and superbly directed.I must mention Arundathi’s acting skills specially and indeed she did receive an standing ovation at the end of the play.

RangaShankara is a nice place to visit and even has a restaurant with a comfortable feel where you can have some chats and go on and watch the play and the must say the whole place is maintained well. They hold 3 shows every day at 12:30, 3:30 and 7:30 P.M respectively and they are closed on Mondays.

Kindly make sure that you switch off your mobile or put it into silent mode inside the auditorium or else be prepared to get rapped by the entire production team at the end of the show. I had a nice time at this place and hoping to catch few more art of dramas at RangaShankara.
