What is happening to our theatre plays?

I watched two plays recently. The first one “Friends will be Friends" was a utter disaster. This was some kind of movie on stage, with dances in between when its not required. The script was stolen from all the Hindi movies - from Dil Chatha hai to Dilwale dulaniya le jayenge. One of my colleagues walked out for the auditorium by the first half. It looked like one guy had lot of money to spend on and decided to stage a play. Though the actors were good - ultimately it was a bad experience. The second play was by a famous group called Evam “Double Comedy” and this group is known for some good plays called “Chapter Two" etc. And I was all excited and looking forward for a good play. This one too had dances in between, but the difference was it was good music :-). Actors were great, but it really didn’t give me a satisfaction of seeing a good play. Towards the end I wanted to run out of the auditorium. I definitely need to get reviews before I go to the next one, and hope they don’t all head the bollywood way.

Bored @ work

I am basically a little bored at work. Due to the current situation in office I have very little work to do. This will change soon, but I have to get through this current phase. So I keep look and fishing for some unfinished stuff or some work I can do for others. And also keep surfing the net for ideas where I need to keep myself engaged.

I am such a person that I need to keep myself busy… and want to do something which I have not done before or to learn something which will definitely help me as person.

What else can I do?
