After hearing great reviews last year about Crazy Spotlight Productions’ One Night only, I decided I would be foolish not to see this year’s production, viz., The Mystery of Martand Haveli. The play was staged at Sri Ram Centre and the hall was packed. The actors were good as was the set design. What was missing was the compactness of a mystery. It seemed loose at places and attention dithered. But humour there was plenty. What struck was Shehnaaz, the eccentric detective taking the cake with her Punjabi accented English and the full on use of sexual innuendoes. Kamini and Damini, the detective twins synchronized their movements wonderfully. All the actors were quite competent. As a director, Nikhil has done a good job, though this genre is unchartered territory for him as yet.
Kudos to these talents who have made theatre their passion!
