Notes: | Original Playwright - Rabindranath Tagore | |||||
Synopsis: | Directed by Valerie Doulton, Artistic Director, The Live Literature Company, this is the public dress rehearsal performance of Tagore's most celebrated play, The Post Office. Originally written in 1912, 'The Post Office' is rich in symbolism and allegory, and is a play about man's passionate cry for faraway and spiritual freedom. At the heart of the play is a young boy, through whose imaginative mind life is celebrated, even though this child is facing death. Mixing simplicity with sophistication, the play's universal appeal has made it a world classic. Gandi was spellbound by the play in Calcutta in 1917. Anita Desai called it, as modest as a dewdrop, as profound as the ocean'. | |||||
