Audition Call
for
Naatak's 34th production
Sakharam Binder
(Hindi)
A play by Vijay Tendulkar
Directed by Ravi Bhatnagar
Produced by Asheesh Divetia
Show Dates
October 9-25, 2010
About The Play
Vijay Tendulkar is regarded as one of India’s finest playwrights, whose plays deal with the complexity of human relationships and contain a latent critique of contemporary Indian society. In this play, structured around Sakharam, the protagonist, Tendulkar has lashed out at the hypocritical contradictions inherent in our accepted norms of ‘middle class morality’.
The first 2 acts of the play develop the key characters with all their foibles and idiosyncrasies. The 3rd act builds up to the climax, when the characters’ fears, strengths and weaknesses are laid bare in the face of a crisis.
