The Urge, a take-off from Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors was staged at the ITC Maurya Sheraton’s Neel Mahal on Nov 5, 2011. Directed by Aamir Raza Husain, it was quite a hit with the audience, which was mostly upper crust. The play was sponsored by Aircel and the spectators mostly comprised their customers. But such entertainment is most welcome, I guess. Since the hall was not an auditorium, it came with its disadvantages. All the chairs were arranged at the same level with a not too high stage. So I had to crane my neck this way and that to catch a glimpse of the players.
On the whole, the play provided wholesome entertainment filled with laughter, with each character essaying his/her role with panache but the cake was taken by George, played by Aamir Raza himself. I loved the Italian accent put on by Anthony Corelli, the opera singer.
