The play The Crab Soup was staged on July 9 at the Max Mueller Bhavan. Both the shows had quite a turn out. The TCA director, Ramanjit Kaur and scriptwriter Arthur Cardozo have really done a great job. The play travels to London as a Theatre Science project. It dealt with a middle class young couple facing the spectre of HIV and coping or not coping with it.
The Kolkata audience does seem a little uncomfortable with English plays and with subtleties. Long silences are definitely not appreciated here. Moreover, the actors need to come to grips with a foreign language and learn to deliver more confidently.
All in all, a good effort. Good for English theatre!!!
