Synopsis: | Sammy! is a play in two acts about the irrepressible Mahatma in Gandhi. Through a sporadic debate between two actors, full of Gandhi's hallmark humor, it traces the development of the young and naive Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi from a protestor in South Africa into a shrewd politician, and then into an enlightened person-a Mahatma or Great Soul. | |||||

| The irrepressible 'Mahatma' in Gandhi is the Inner Voice he could not ignore. This intricately crafted play portrays Gandhi's journey from a tongue-tied lawyer to a shrewd politician and finally the Mahatma (Great Soul). Set against the dramatic background of India's struggle for freedom, this outstanding play surprises our expectation at every turn of the story. Full of humour and style, the play makes past events seem like present gossip and the audience is transported deeper within themselves. The play brings alive Gandhi's philosophy, pragmatism, and sense of humour. Partap Sharma's play unwinds Gandhi's concepts and his techniques for non-violent struggle. The play is captivating as we realise that Gandhi's struggle has no enemy, no arms, no hate nor revenge, but only the inner strength of millions of ordinary men, women and children. | |||||
