Today we had the chance to watch Naatak’s 100th Production – Ramayan. It was in Awadhi language. Awadhi or Oudhi the language of Awadh region in UP.

Yesterday I had a chance to watch Perunthachan (The Master Craftsman); the 2nd play by the SF Bay Area Malayalam Literary and Arts group Sargavedi. A much larger production in terms of crew and acts than their first Kattukuthira (Wild Horse) which successfully ran multiple venues in the United States. In my opinion this is a step close to big time serious Malayalam theatre in US. There … Continue reading Perunthachan (The Master Craftsman) SF Bay Area Sargavedi’s 2nd Theatrical Beauty
