When we decided to stage Silence on May 12th and 13th, a few of us were vary of the fact that it was a weekday, plus with the IPL fever on, we knew it would be a tough ask to get close to a full house. We went ahead without worrying too much about the turn out with the intention to provide a knock out show irrespective of the turnout.
What we saw on 12th and 13th was certainly overwhelming, Near full house shows with about 550 people over 2 days was certainly a big boost to all the actors. Not only did the audience understand the sub text of the play, they were very very involved. One of our favorite moments in the play was when Sukhatme - played by Harish, during his last monologue delivers a statement - " Woman is not fit for independence", A lady sitting in the front row reacts instantly saying " What! ". This happens only when the audience is completely involved in the play and becomes one with the actors on stage.
As the play concluded and the lights dimmed out, A thunderous applause that wouldnt stop until the lights came back for the curtain call. We were extremely humbled when the audience gave us a standing ovation even as the cast and crew were being introduced.
Once again, A big thank you to everyone who made the show a grand success.

Congratulations, everyone! Full house on both days of the week speaks a lot about the play and the performers. Good Luck, keep going!
Will definitely try to make it to the next one if it happens on a weekend :-) or, in a rare chance, if it happens in Hyderabad
