DRAMA
Dutu Thena Allanu back on stage
Dutu Thena Allanu, the latest theatre production by eminent actress
and theatre director Kaushalya Fernando, will go on boards at the Lionel
Wendt Theatre on January 24. The play premiered at the same venue in
December last year and was well received by the audiences.
A satirical representation of a decadent socio-political reality
where murderers, rapists, rogues and racketeers bask in the freedom to
roam the streets and consort with law enforcement officials because of
their political clout, the play is an adaptation of Nobel Prize-winning
Nigerian dramatist and poet, Wole Soyinka's 1977 farcical political read
titled 'Opera Wonyosi'.
