Last evening the 9th edition of Odeon kicked off at Pala in the ITC Sonar. The play "Ke Tumi" a script based musical in Bengali and English, inspired by Rabindranath Tagore's relationship with his muse Kadambari Devi, featured the legendary actor Soumitro Chatterjee and the beautiful actress Chandrayee Ghosh.
This was followed by cocktails and dinner. Though the intellectual and some psuedo intellectuals were enthralled, I guess this wasn't something for my entertainment palette. So after sitting through it a bit, I decided to get out and hit the watering hole. The evening saw quite a few pegs go down and the food was just super delicious.
Now am looking forward to catching atleast a couple of plays of this year's theatre festival.
