Hero

Last Sat, dev and I went to check out a play at Actors Studio Bangsar (ASB)... Its a drama called 'Hero'.... It stared it starred Indi Nadarajah, Anne James and newcomer Ley Shahrwind.

Hero tells the story of the anguish suffered by a family following the death of the father - a politician who is mysteriously assassinated. The story is told through the eyes of his wife, his fourteen-year-old son and by the dead man himself. The man a potential hero in the Indian community refuses to remain silent, thereby adding to the mystery illuminating a murder that has gripped not just the Tamil community, but the entire nation.As the trio tell their story through dialogue and monologue, through flash back and present day events, a sinister and uneasy web forms, linking affairs of state, power, faith and ego. Who has assassinated this man? And why? Ultimately, however, Hero transgresses national and political interests, and arrives at that most intimate and unique of spaces, the family home.

Ultimately, after a long break i was glad to go watch a play again...really missed out a few gd one's over the past year or so...anyways dis one was pretty damn gd.. im so used to watchin Indi do comedy so it was refreshing to see him do a dramatic rola so well....the man is dedicated sial..starts off wearing a suit n slowly throughout the play he strips down to just his boxers n socks..i laughed out loud during one point when he reffered to his political enemy as a 'cunt'..i mean i've heard fucker,bastard and asshole during many plays but never a 'cunt'...Ley Shahrwind was pretty gd 2..was very convincing in 1st ever thetere production...

there are 2 more plays coming up in the next month i wanna see..cant wait..comedy/musicals but still should be pretty good...

later days ya'll!!
