About the Play :

Hilarious yet dark - The Butcher of Quietly is a tragic farce. The story as told is extremely edge-of-the-seat. The twists and turns in the plots keep one guessing till the last moment. The actions in the play take place in three time zones, and in one place – the deep woods of Quietly. The moments across the play are funnily edgy at times, and are likely to leave the audience spellbound by the audacity of its debate. The play reflects on our current politics of indifference and power based on total ignorance of the social good. The way, the play is designed, it has an extremely fast pace to it, and uses innovative new-age techniques to create a breathtaking spectacle. The acting styles vary from one time zone to another, not only depicting the realities of the respective periods but also present elevated realities of those times. The Butcher of Quietly is at times poetic, at times rip-roaringly funny, mostly theatrical, and quietly dark.   

Synopsis :

A woman’s skull buried deep down in the dark pages of history. A secret investigation leads us to the first ever murder committed in cold blood in a jungle kingdom called Quietly. The skull is Zasha’s, the wife of Soola, who kills her for greed, in his blind pursuit of wealth, status and power. He kills her because in her head is hidden a secret hymn which can guide one to the king’s secret chamber, filled with treasure. His pursuance of his ambition to replace the king of Quietly makes defunct the law of the land that one can kill but only for hunger. What follows is a hilariously dark trial, where Soola makes a mockery of the entire system and proves himself innocent in the eyes of the people and the king of Quietly. As soon as Soola is free, he assassinates the king. Then rise to the occasion, the Protectors of Quietly, to haunt him for his sins. A bloody battle ensues between Soola’s black army and the protectors of Quietly, where Soola his captured in his effort to regain possession of Zasha’s skull. He is imprisoned and then tortured for days before he miraculously escapes and manages to enter the secret chamber of the slain king. The chief of the Protectors of Quietly then silently surrenders to the idea that maybe Soola is destined to be the next king. Instead of waging a war in the defence of the honour of Quietly, he decides to negotiate for his share of the loot.
