Theater)))

Yesterday we with friends decided to go to theater))) We went to Kala Mandir theater)))

We were with our friend Abishek)))) If not him, we would be manage to do it. So Abishek bought ticket for everyone, there were a lot of people with us.))) We met some Abishek's friends, for example Elizabeth and her 4 years son Thomas, she is from Germany, but she has been living for one year in Kolkata))) She is very nice and it was pleasure to communicate with her.))) Her son is so cute)))

So about theater))) yes, it was nice, the name of the play is "Love letter". There were only two actors - man and woman. The play was on English and it was nice)))

Love Letters is a Pulitzer Prize for Drama nominated play by A.R. Gurley. The play centers on just two characters, Melissa Gardner and Andrew Makepeace Ladd III. Using the epistolary form sometimes found in novels, they sit side by side at tables and read the notes, letters and cards - in which over nearly 50 years, they discuss their hopes and ambitions, dreams and disappointments, victories and defeats - that have passed between them throughout their separated lives. (who wants to know more - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Letters_%28play%29)

So it was nice performed)))) all of us liked it))) There were a lot of funny things)))

Of course there were something unique in Indian theater)))

First, it is mentioned in the ticket that the beginning of the play is at 18.30, but it began in 18.50. May be it is made like that in order people wouldn't be late??!!! if it is for it, then it is great))))

Second, before beginning of the play they introduced by microphone all the team like director, music, lighting and etc))) it is quite new for me))) cause in Russian theaters there is no such introduction)))

Third, it is not depend on Indian or not Indian theater but there were so many people who didn't switch off mobile phones and even spoke during the play, that was unbelievable!!!!

Forth, of course after the end of the play main actor introduced again all the team (music, director and etc.) hehehhe ... and he told us about that it was very difficult to perform when it was so noisy in the theater and that he hope that next time there won't be so...
So it was very-very nice))) nice that it is international))) it was on English))))

Great and bravo))) Wait for the next time)))

P.S. Dear Abishek, thank you!!!!))))
