An adaptation of David Hare’s much-revered Skylight

After a phenomenal response in December, 'Skylight', an adaptation of David Hare's iconic play returns to stage from the 24th to 26th of Februaryat Oddbird Theatre, Delhi.

Directed by Samar Sarila, this adaptation of the 1995 original is a collaborative effort by Samar and Vidushi Mehra. Samar, who also stars in the play alongwith Vidushi, revive the play for a second run with a script that has not only touched the hearts of audiences in the West, but remains as socially and emotionally relevant today as it was then.

Skylight is a story and script written by David Hare and its first performance premiered in the West End at the Cottesloe Theatre, London in 1995. Winning appraise and appreciation there, Skylight soon premiered in New York City to critical and commercial success. Since then, Skylight has been adapted in several productions over the years with its most recent and notable revival being the 2015 Broadway adaptation starring Carry Mulligan and Bill Nighy.   

In its first Indian revival, Skylight returns to the stage once again, especially for Indian audiences in the creatively designed performance space of Oddbird Theatre aided by a minimalist set design and stellar acting performances.

Synopsis:
A schoolteacher, Kyra Hollis, is visited by her ex-lover, a rich restaurateur, Tom Sergeant on a cold London evening in her apartment. Having nothing in common that would usually make for a fine romance, what follows is an unexpected reunion which sees the two former lovers discuss matters of the heart in a passionate and amusing attempt at reconciliation. Separated in age and attitude, don’t even get them started on politics or even cooking! As the night progresses, an entertaining battle between their opposing ideologies and mutual desires ensues involving among other things the debated preparation of pasta and flinging of cutlery.

What if art imitated life? Skylight is a unique look at relationships, politics and the society we live in with its distinctiveness lying in its relevance even today. A one of a kind story that will alter your attitude towards life and its many complexities, Skylight is a heartfelt and often humorous account of two lovers bound together by a shared passion but divided by conflicting ideologies.
