30 Days in September by Mahesh Dattani
A Play to remember
A Play to remember
Hi friends. Welcome back to our session. I want to share with you all something that all of us have seen. I think you all know what I am trying to say. Yes, it is the play which is ’30 Days in September’ directed by Mahesh Dattani. I would like to say something about this play. It has influenced me a lot not only mentally and emotionally but also physically. This is not the first time I have been to Bangsar Actors Studio because before this I have watched a fusion musical programme entitled ‘Prana’ by 
Malaysia’s famous sitarist Samuel J. Dass and his musicians. So I don’t feel that much different. Coming back to the topic, when I first watched the first scene where the mother is praying to Lord Krishna, I felt like I’m in a different world. This is because of the soothing music which carried my feelings entirely. When the play is slowly developing, I began to indulge myself with the characters especially when the particular scene where the mother and the daughter argues and then suddenly the picture of Lord Krishna fell down and broke into pieces. This is the part where it really touched me and I felt sad too. Not only that I keep on telling to myself ‘you shouldn’t have done that. Anyway since I am not the character, I kept on following the play. Although this play centers around the fractured mother relationship between a daughter, I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience on not only the play itself but also how the characters potray themselves towards each other. What I can say about this play is that it is an unforgettable experience where we not only get to enjoy the play but also get the chance to meet with the actors. Also this beautiful play is very close to my heart and I hope the next time we can watch this play again. I would like to express my thanks to Dr.Edwin for giving us all such an opportunity to watch this play and also exposing us on what is a play really like. Also to Mahesh Dattani you have done a great job on putting up this play. All the best.
