Theatre anyone?
Theatre Club is performing Anuvab Pal’s Fatwa for the forthcoming Deccan Herald Theatre Festival.
This is a call for two actors – A white British man or looking the part (50 to 60 years or capable of playing that age. A Brit accent is naturally required) and the publisher youngish, indeterminate age.
FATWA is a play about two friends who are middle aged failed writers. As a last effort, one of them writes a blasphemous book which is published and brings him some royalty. He then tries to gain publicity and also help his friend earn some money by an effort to get a Fatwa on his own head and have it executed by his friend. The friend’s only qualification is that he just happens to be "Middle Eastern Looking". A black comedy set in England. The first writer is a white British male called James Bond, the other also a Briton, but originally from Chennai, is Mohsin Ali. There is also a cameo character, the publisher.
Dates of the play : one day between 12th and 17th March. Also 3rd to 6th April, 2012 at Rangashankara.
Rehearsals : off Cunningham Road, therefore central, but preferred time is in the afternoon (though this is possible to negotiate a little.)

Hi Anish
Welcome to the India forum.
I hope you get some takers for your play - unfortunately I am the wrong gender and far too young for the part !!
It does sound like the end result will be fun to watch though

Dear Dread-X
Wrong age...wrong gender... but interested! So, so unfortunate. We have located an actor for the part, though - an Indian actually but lived his life, for the most part, in London.
The dates have been fixed too March 12th, Chowdiah Memorial Hall, The Deccan Herald Theatre Festival.
I do hope the final result is worth watching - thank you for your wishes
