ONE TOO MANY

theatre

NEVER TOO MANY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any number of plays are welcome,and so it was great to have ACTORS (Amateur Creative Talents on Repertory Shows) of Lucknow,present their second production,ONE TOO MANY,last week.I somehow managed to make it,on the last day of the show,and was pleasantly surprised to see,the hall,almost two thirds full,on the last day,in spite of it being a week day,and one of the coldest evenings of this prolonged winter.This just went to show the love of Lucknowites for drama and their appreciation for productions of ACTORS.

theatre

UNDOUBTEDLY ENTERTAINING !!!! Have been writing reviews on movies for almost a decade now,and hence thought I must pen down my views on plays too. ACTORS ,( Amateur Creative Talents On Repertory Shows) recently staged Unfaithfully Yours,a two act comedy,at Lucknow. Watching it was a double treat,firstly because I was watching an English play in Lucknow after almost three decades,and secondly because the play was beautifully staged. The story of the play revolves around Jack Smith,who secretly has two wives and manages to keep two families,with a daughter and a son from each wife.The kids meet on the internet and want to meet personally,more so,since they find that the description of their dad,matched identically.The plot is created as to how jack,along ith his lodger friend Sam,tries to prevent the…
