Rangmanch 9: A Doll's House (English)

Date: 31st October, 2012

Cast: Swati Govil, Sathyajith Prabhu, Ankur Pandit, Vidya Panicker, Saurabh Pillai

Script: Original by Henrik Ibsen (Adapted by Ashish Tickoo)

Direction: Ashish Tickoo

Anchor: Shuchi Garg

A Doll's House is the oldest play to have been performed on the Rangmanch stage. A classic tale of male dominance in the society and female emancipation that challenged the mindsets of the conservatives, the play was adapted to a more modern context and the characters were ably brought to life by the balanced and believable  performances of the whole cast.


Trivia:
Rangmanch 9 featured the return of the marvelous Vidya Panicker on stage after Rangmanch 3. Sathyajith Prabhu became the first individual from PGP16 to perform on the Rangmanch stage. Thanks to the ongoing summer placements, this play saw the maximum number of locations being used for rehearsals right from the Room of Contemplation to the  under-construction MDP block to the amphitheater.
