Event Description :  Akshara Theatre presents Gopal Sharman’s "The Ramayana" based on Gopal Sharman’s theatrical masterpiece.

The Ramayana “India’s Gift to Broadway” 
- New York Times  

This iconic theatre production which was commissioned in the early 70’s by the Royal Shakespeare Company was originally performed as a one-woman solo tour-de-force by Jalabala, who played it on Broadway, London’s West End, United Nations Headquarters, as well as in 35 Indian cities and towns to packed houses, rave reviews and standing ovations worldwide -- from the 70’s through to the 90’s – creating dramatic history.

In recent years, Jalabala performs the opening and closing scenes of the play, while a cast of superbly talented young actors performs the other scenes creating an exciting and innovative theatrical experience. The actors includes Jalabala’s talented grand-children Nisa Shetty as Sita, Dhruv Shetty as Hanuman and Yashna Shetty as Kaikeyi, along with Vikalp Mudgal as Rama, Vijay S. Kumar  as Ravana. Rakesh Palisetty as Vibheeshana and Pragya Priyadarshnini  as Mandodari.

The production retains the dramatic intensity of Gopal Sharman’s play which explores the human characters of Rama and Sita with reverence, delicacy and insight, through some of the most exquisite stage writing in modern theatre. Eminent Tamil litterateur Ka Naa Subramaniam, writing in the Indian Express pronounced it “The Ramayana for our times”, while the New York Times hailed it as “India’s Gift to Broadway”.
