Had been to this narrative play performed by Srinivas Prabhu and Arundati Nag herself at raangashanhara. It is a sequence of dialogs between two soul mates with letters as the medium of expression. Though the actors just read the letters for the whole of the play-- one just feels that the characters are themselves present and performing. Words used really create an impact -- just inexplicable.
I particularly thought the play was senti and had a lot to do with emotions kind of stuff.
The best part of the play was that I was sitting next the legendary, honourary ,Jnana Peetha award winner Girish Karnad. He has his play coming up this month end . The play is called HAYAVADHANA. This play has an interesting storyline with fantasies abound in it-- with a message though.

Jealous Huh. This is where writing blogs is fun
Good that you saw the play. Wonder what you think of it. I read a decent critique of Hyavadana at the following url, maybe it will interest you?
