My soul would be at peace if I saw a spotlight on my tombstone rather than a Ferrari in my garage, quips Deepak Dhamija,a venture-capitalist,who gave it all up to
dabble in theatre. Formed last year,Dhamijas group,the Delhi-based Shoelace Productions,already has an award on its shelf,the Best Script prize at the Short and Sweet theatre festival for its debut play Ghost Diary. Now,the group
presents the Hindi version of Ghost Diary,called Diary ki Toh @#$%^. Its not a swear word,the gibberish is open to interpretation, says Dhamija. The 90-minute Diary ki Toh @#$%^,revolves around a small town boy,who moves to a big city and finds
himself getting sucked in a whirlpool of a new life that he
cannot understand. Consumed by the misfortunes of his life,the boy writes two very tragic plays
ironically both are perceived as comedies by the audience. People want comedy, Dhamija says.
An interesting concept in the play is the character of a clown
who dons different roles from the protagonists mother to his friend to his diary. The play is set to
travel to Jaipur,Chandigarh and Dehradun. I want Hindi literature and drama to reach these areas,
says Dhamija.
The play will be staged at Epicentre on July 16 and 17. Contact: 124-2715000
