Yours Truly Theatre will present
a series of four performances in July and August

BANGALORE: Five actors facing an audience and engaging them in a conversation that becomes, well, a play.

In what promises to be an interesting experiment in interactive theatre, Yours Truly Theatre will present a series of four performances in July and August.

In “Sunday Brunch” (at 11.30 a.m. on July 27 at Nayana Hall, Ravindra Kalakshetra), the actors will bring out multiple reactions and stories from the audience on things that may have happened to them on a Sunday.

The actors will then use the tools of theatre to enact the whole story on the spot, with music and lights. In “Common Man” (7.30 p.m. on August 22 at Rangashankara), the audience will decide the ending and the last few scenes of the play.

The play, a social satire that is a tribute to the common man, combines elements of storytelling, song, dance and lighting that form a single composition.

Help from the audience

“Changes” (7.30 p.m. on August 30 at Nayana Hall, Ravindra Kalakshetra) will have the actors performing stories given by the audience.

“Bhagvan Dundo” (7.30 p.m. on August 31 at Nayana Hall, Ravindra Kalakshetra), is a new satirical play by the group.

It is a humorous look at how changing lifestyles impact tradition.
