"Shadows in the Dark" - On top of the heap!!!

Last year when the group performed "Shadows in the Dark" in the 'Art Mantram and Bangalore Bias Young Directors Festival' it bagged the best play award and indeed through this play VODO got a huge recognition. The Group travelled to Dharwad, staged the play and received good reviews and appreciations. After that the play has been staged couple of times and the response has been amazing. Recently the group has been invited to stage "Shadows" in the "Kannada Rangabhoomi - Namaskara" Festival as part of the Kannada Rajyothasva. Its a One week festival of different kannada plays translated to English, to reach out the non-kannada audience to show the variety and richness of the kannada literature. Indeed the festival was well received and yet again "Shadows" received good reviews. It has been a retreat for the audience who watched this play for the first time and also those who have been watching it again. Needless to say the moments of making of "Shadows in the Dark" will be cherished for a long time among the group.

When the pythons followed the actor!!!

Synopsis
“When the pythons followed An Actor...” is an adaptation of “An Actor’s Nightmare” and 3 sketches of Monty Python, strung together to produce 70 minutes of free flowing laughter and nothing else. Christopher Durang is a contemporary American playwright known for his dark comedies. His “An Actor’s Nightmare” was inspired by the well known dream that many people in professional and amateur theatre have, that they go to perform in a play that they have inexplicably never been to rehearsals for, and for which they know neither the lines or the plot. The Monty Python group is very well known around the world for its hilarious TV sketches and movies.
