Raell Padamsee's Ace Productions presents the
internationally acclaimed Lushin Dubey in two
superlative plays over two evenings in the first
week of July, called Women. Now at the NCPA,
Mumbai. Both the plays—one untitled, and the
other called Bitter Chocolate, are directed by
Arvind Gaur with Lushin playing the main
protagonist. While the untitled play is based on
Vijayadan Dethas Nyaari Nyaari Maryada and
Dario Fo's Medea, one of the most horrific and
powerful Greek tragedies. Bitter Chocolate is
based on writer Pinki Virani's bestseller of the
same title and focuses sharply on the flawed
morality in Indian society.
