Jith Peiris
The play directed by Jith Peiris will essentially revolve around Durai who come from Jaffna to Colombo to meet his cosmopolitan brother-inlaw presently married for the second time to a European lady and so the fun begins.
While the exaggerated elements bring on easy laughter to the audience, the real comedy is played out through the misunderstandings and contradictions between opposing views and the nature of Durai and his brother-inlaw Raja. Certain issues create some amusing scenes which also illuminate the characters of these two men.
