‘Aadara Wasthuwa’ returns to the Punchi Theatre
View(s):Award winning playwright Rajitha Dissanayake’s new play, ‘Aadara Wasthuwa’ (Love Object), returns to the Namel Malani Punchi Theatre on Sunday, October 26 with shows at 3.30 and 6.45 pm.
‘Adara Wasthuwa’ is a well-crafted drama, open to multiple interpretations and its maiden run sparked much audience feedback and drew positive reviews. The 90-minute play explores the intricacies of human relations in a society where political and economic gains override ethical concerns. In some ways, it carries forward themes found in Rajitha’s earlier plays such as Mata Weditiyan Nedda, and Sihina Horu Aran.
The central character is Naveen a university lecturer who doubles as a senior consultant to a government ministry. Naveen is drawn into a plot to overthrow the ruling party by his friend Suresh, a cut-throat media mogul. Meanwhile Madhavi, a former student of Naveen who writes for a leading news magazine, comes to interview him. The subsequent revelation of who she really is sets in motion a chain of events with potentially grim consequences.
Written and directed by Rajitha Dissanayake, the cast of ‘Adara Wasthuwa’ comprises Shyam Fernando, Nadeeshani Peliarachchi, Gihan de Chickera, and Nalin Lusena. Tickets are available only at Borella Namel Malani Punchi Theatre. (All Seats have been Box-planned).
