A delightfully poignant tale of love & longing in a Shining India. A new play by Girish Karnad. Directed by Lillete Dubey. Cast: Utkarsh Mazumdar, Neena Kulkarni, Ira Dubey, Suchitra Pillai, Rajev Paul, Amar Talwar, Seema Azmi, Deepika Amin, Raaghav Chanana & Armaan Sunny. The Wedding Album , Girish Karnads contemporary new play, explores the traditional Indian Wedding in a globalized, technologically advanced India . On the surface its a familiar picture- a joyful event when members of the clan come together to celebrate and reaffirm loyalties, but behind the picture perfect smiles, simmer long suppressed suspicions, jealousies, frustrations and aggression. The play deals with a normal urban middle- class family : a daughter who lives abroad with her professional husband, a brother who is a software designer, a younger daughter happy enough to marry a suitable boy from the US she has never met, and then, of course, there is the doting mother and the loyal cook. A family, which is educated, liberal, and modern. Each snapshot shows its members frozen in a projection of respectability, but each figure has a double image, with the shadow of a hidden life. Its a hilarious spectacle. And hopefully, both revealing and moving.
