Gertrude
Director : Phyllis Bose.
Play was funny at times, thought provoking at times and just plain awesome at other times.
Actress Phyllis Bose is the stalwart of theatre. An English lady,married to a Bengali,living in Bangalore and focusing on theatre in education.
She played the part of Gertrude Stein in the most fitting way bringing out all the eccentricities of the character just by words!! just by words!! Of course with the help of all the props and the settings, which builds the character of the personality at display i.e Gertrude Stein.
Its was the beginning of the beginning in many more ways than one*!!
I love Plays!I love thoughts that they provoke! Trick is just listen!
Funny part is the only people who listen are the ones who don't have to remember it*!
Gertrude Stein ! The writer, the person after my own heart.
Why do you need punctuation.
Why do you need question mark es.
If you really want to understand the writer and his/her write please look into yourself - Bhawanao ko samjho :p
Things I like( should be liked but I still like them :() in the play
1) The thoughts to which I got introduced/relate to --
What happens if Identity and Memory meets eternity?
Identity.
Doing things than talking about things.
A Rose is a Rose is a Rose is a Rose!
2) Actress
Expressions!Intonation!Accent!
3) Script
Myriad of things that it covered - world of Paintings!Human Relationships! concept of Identity!
concept of Genius!
Anecdotes! and the dialogues(though the play was a monolouge!;))! ooh my!! What a display of pure genius!
I love Digression from the topic at centre and that the play was the perfect display.
4) Direction!
The denouement! The protagonist standing in front of the portrait of herself by Piccaso becoming the Self then and there.
You gotta see it to understand it! It just cant be put into words it will be injustice to the director!!
5) New world!
of Paintings -- Matisse,Cessane,Juan Gris,Braque and last but not the least Pablo Piccaso.
