Here is a theatre production that takes on one of society’s oldest
institutions: marriage. The fear of marriage, failed marriages and rising
divorces are the order of day today, but are these markers of social
decadence or social evolution? Wed-lock is a performance that invites the
audience to participate as well as ‘spect-actors’, bringing about a
discussion forum that blends with theatre as a medium.

Consisting of two plots, Wed-lock explores the lower-middle class society
(in a regional dialect) as well as the upper class where marriage means
different things in different social milieus. Is there a place for love,
companionship in marriage? Are these words hollow? On the other hand, for
this class, is marriage a pragmatic, capitalistic enterprise? These are just
some of the questions that Wed-Lock seeks to raise, and perhaps answer.

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….

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

There is a Music workshop planned for this month at Alliance Francaise de
Bangalore. The classes will consist of interesting information about music,
the theory, history and other elements behind it and a great deal of
information and training on how to nurture a good performing voice for the
stage especially for singing.

Although the classes are aimed to benefit people interested in vocal music
or performance in general (singing), it will also greatly benefit those who
are playing any other instruments like the Guitar but have little knowledge
about Music theory. It will also be an interesting learning for theater
enthusiasts especially actors to help their awareness of the performing
voice onstage!

Venue: Alliance Francaise de Bangalore
Starting: September 28, ’09
Timing: Mondays – 530pm to 630pm
Course duration: 1 hour/per week for 10 weeks.

actors), Sight singing, Ear training, Body awareness, among other elements.
Course fee: Rs. 2500/-
