The entire production is colorful, fun and mesmerizing in its playful delivery.Ĭombining movement and sign language with sound and lighting effects, director and choreographer Kelly Parsley melds the mythical and metaphysical aspects of the story with its sing-song poetics.
Theater Alliance, over at the H Street Playhouse in northeast Washington, has brought this refreshing story to life with a mix of innocence and edgy sarcasm.
If that sounds too heavy for you, not to worry American audiences can simply enjoy the story for its comic humor, colorful characters and fluid storytelling. Full of poetic language, the work is a social commentary on Indian society, politics and censorship.
Written in 1990 by Salmon Rushdie (his first post- Satanic Verses novel), the story has been made into a play and, most recently, an opera. One of the most charming fables to come along in years!
