‘Comically incorrect’: ‘FOUR SHORT COMEDY PLAYS’ by Anton Chekhov

Four short comic pieces written in a very formal manner yet mean pure
unadulterated humor. Differential characterization, hilarious one liners,
apt lighting and music makes comically incorrect a worth while watch.Each
short play set in a different league of its own having no connection with
one another, makes it even more entertaining. Cult welcomes you to witness
this mesmerizing portrait drawn on the canvas of theatre.

A callous confrontation between a bank manager having gout and a noisy
housewife….

old son a gift, a gift that no father would be dreaming of giving his son.
Well! He wants him to become a man; he does so by taking him to a woman ..

PLAY 3 THE SURGERY
A dentist – I am sorry, a dentist to be, I mean he has all the experience as
a doctor only that he does not posses a doctors degree .waiting for a

from her husband….

cult presents ART BY YASMINA REZA

Art, a French play written by Yasmina Reza, adapted in English, by
Christopher Hampton, is a play, that revolves around three diverse and
minimalist products of human nature. Three characters, aesthetes in their
own right, questioning their individual prejudices against each other.

Serge, a modernist, a puritan, but an afterthought of delusion. Marc,
characterized by the epitome of self-acclaim and classicist snobbery and
Ivan, an oblivious leaf, which flows in whichever direction the wind blows.

The three friends collide subtly into each others’ perspective and push each
other into an overwhelmed sense of egoistic urge towards moral self defense,
bringing out the extremes of human nature in the most sublime of ways. The
simplistic portrayal of a relationship severed at the seams, encompassing
Art as its supposed to be, universal and conflicting.

Natural players, differential lighting and apt music makes art a worth while
watch .( all this plus a not so creative tribute to Micheal jackson)

Venue: alliance francaise, Bangalore
Date: 18th september 2009 [friday]
Timing: 3: 30 and 7: 30
