Six years back, Girish Karnad's powerful, dramatic monologue, Flowers, created a stir with its exploration of love, duty, loyalty and honour through the eyes of a priest, torn between his love for God and a courtesan. The play returns to Mumbai, and Rajit Kapoor, who plays the pious priest, takes us through the journey
A story based on a folk tale, Girish Karnad’s Flowers, was first released in 2006. Now, six years later, the play continues to be one of the most powerful plays with a contemporary sensibility. The play is a collaboration between Rage Theatre, Ranga Shankara, India’s most respected playwright Girish Karnad and a well-known Delhi director Roysten Able. Owing to the brilliant sets and high drama, this play strikes a chord with audiences each time it is staged. After a long gap, the play will be staged this weekend at the NCPA.
