"The protagonists carry on with life, earn money and do well for themselves but they become completely grey. They don't realise that they're missing something," says Salone. The two decide to follow their passion because it is the only thing that makes them happy. However, it's not an easy decision to follow through.
Salone and Yashwant have drawn plenty from their personal lives for the play. Yet, they believe the script goes beyond their lives to uncover a hypothetical world. "The scenes have emerged from several relationships that we've seen around us. We've taken the essence from real life situations but given it a theatrical treatment," says Yashwant.
The director also believes that though Crystal Anniversary is about a husband and wife, who are performers, the play will find resonance among audience members, regardless of their professional background. "The play looks at how everybody starts off a relationship with an idea of what it should be but in the process of achieving the ideal, ends ups losing everything. When you have one foot in the grave, you turn around and think about how you've spent your entire life on somebody else's terms," he signs off, passionately.
