Lights Out
17 September
Directed by Suresh Babu H.S. and written by Manjula Padmanabhan, the play is set in 1982’s Mumbai. The play talks about the issue of rape in India, and the irony that a society obsessed with propriety and external virtue would quietly allow such a heinous act to occur so commonly. Penned as a comedy, the play is essentially tragic in its pulse. 1 hour, 10 minutes.
7.30pm. Ranga Shankara, 36/2, 8th Cross, 2nd Phase, JP Nagar (26592777). Tickets, ₹ 100, available at in.bookmyshow.com.
Treadmill
18-19 September
Director Abhishek Majumdar’s Treadmill explores the personal journeys of people from Indian small towns, and the awkwardness they face while living in a city, investigated through the metaphor of a treadmill. The comedy speaks of the various instances in people’s lives where they continuously run without getting anywhere. Relationships between husband and wife, mother and child, travellers in a train, among several others, come to light. 1 hour, 10 minutes.
7.30pm. Ranga Shankara, 36/2, 8th Cross, 2nd Phase, JP Nagar (26592777). Tickets, ₹ 150, available at in.bookmyshow.com
