Rangavalli troupe to stage Kannada comedy play

Mysore/Mysuru: Rangavalli, a city-based amateur theatre troupe, will be staging Kannada comedy play ‘Samsaradalli Sanidapa’ based on K.V. Akshara’s translation of ‘Virtuous Burglar,’ which is one of the best known farces by Dario Fo, at Kiru Rangamandira in Kalamandira premises on Hunsur Road in city tomorrow (Sept. 2) at 7 pm.

Duration of the play is 90 minutes and is directed by Raviprasad. For details, contact Mob: 95902-59095 or 99646-56482.

Synopsis: The play is set in the contemporary time and deals with the consequences of a burglary which starts out badly and just goes downhill from there on.

The burglar breaks into the flat of a well-to-do man. But whilst he is “at work”, his wife rings him and nags him as only a wife can nag a husband. Then, to make matters worse, the owner returns unexpectedly, bringing with him his lover. One by one, various people enter the flat without knowing what exactly is happening and who is involved with whom. Eight characters locked in a flat that they would each prefer not to be in are tangled in a web of marital intrigue that would take quite a few spiders to spin.
