Man matters

Get ready for a peep to the workings of a man’s mind with Gentlemen . The play, written and directed by Anil Abraham, is presented by Skinny Dipping Productions. The short play features five characters interacting and discussing their problems.

Chacko, a newly-wed software engineer discusses performance anxiety and how it impacts martial life, with generous doses of humour. Shoaib, a barber, talks of using protection weaving his narrative with his take on Hindi cinema and politics.

Shailesh is a teenager discovering his body and the myths and misconceptions that society feeds him. Ramalingam is a senior citizen. He is lonely and slightly vulnerable, but is full of life. The health problems that plague him do interrupt his narrative; but he offers us a glimpse into his colourful life.

Finally there is Vaijayanthi, a young woman who invades the stage to puts things in perspective. Music plays an integral part in the play. The cast apart from Anil comprises Ajith Hande, Rajeev Ravindranathan, Ashvin Matthew and Kirtana Kumar.

Gentlemen will be staged at Alliance Francaise on October 20 at 8 pm. On Octorber 21 and 22 there will be two shows at 4 pm and 8 pm. Tickets are available on bookmyshow. Call 98456 02265.
