The Tamil political satire, Endru Thaniyum Intha Sudhanthira Dhagam, penned by the redoubtable Cho S. Ramaswamy, will be performed in the city on Sunday.
The play deals with the implementation of democracy in heaven and the chaos that follows.
It lampoons the state of contemporary politics in India.
Though the play was first staged in the 1970s, its message is still very much relevant, said the theatre group, United Visuals, in a press release.
United Visuals is headed by theatre and television personality T.V Varadherajen. One of his plays, Elavasa Enaippu, won six awards from the Mylapore Academy.
Endru Thaniyam Intha Sudhanthira Dhagam will be staged at 6.30 p.m. at Thirum Alai Vidhya Niketan Hall in Malleswaram.

Why should a Tamil play has to be played in Karnataka state capital?.Our State language is Kannada which we all respect and love.At least a Kannada translation of the drama should be more appropriate.
Mr. Cho ‘s plays every one of them are mindboggling, especially Mohammed Bin Thuglak and this one Endru Thaniyum Intha Sudhanthira Dhagam,. I am really proud to say that I have watched all his plays, almost every one of them from early 70s onwards and I did take my wife as soon as we got married in ’82 to watch his Thuglak play. When Mr. Cho starts off, he has an introductory note that goes like this, I have not changed any word in the dialogues in the paly and for that I thank our politicians. He’s is just hilarious and amazing. If I were one you reading this article or news, don’t miss this play, you’ll love every second of it!
