This is one of the most brilliant script I have read in my acting career so far. Very crisp, beautiful language, no excessive dialogues (hence no need for any edits). Hats off to the playwright Mr. Surendra Verma. I am playing the protagonist King Okkak in the play. Mr. Verma has described the kings agony & love for his queen in a terrific & gut-wrenching manner. For sure, Surendra Verma has been able to put himself in the shoes of Okkak.How would you feel if your wife whom you dearly love and who loves you back too, is forced to sleep with another man? I ask this question everyday as I prepare for this role in front of the mirror, while driving, on the treadmill ........
I think these vulnerabilities of Okkaak and the fact that although he is in power is left powerless due to a trait he has no control over, makes him more central to the story than Sheelvati, who we sympathize with but here the decision maker seems to suffer more.
