PartyIn Party, Mahesh Elkunchwar takes a Chekhovian look at the members of the creative set in an Indian metropolis, with their pretensions, rivalries, aspirations, and frustrations, even as they are stalked like a guilty conscience by Amrit, the one among them who chose to drop out of the set and went over to live and fight with marginalized tribals who were being denuded progressively of their human rights by the land-grabbers. The play happens to be a party where Amrit s absence becomes more than a presence till the news of his death in an encounter with the police breaks up the party and shows up the irrelevance and the heartlessness of the games the creative set plays. |
