Karnad's new play

Girish Karnad's new play is here. With Arundhati Nag in Kannada role and Arundhati Raja in the English version. I hate interviewing them. Are they Girish Uncle, Runa Aunty and Aru? Or Mr. Karnad, Ms. Raja and Ms. Nag. How I want to leave Bangalore and savour the anonymity of Delhi! But it seems a wonderful play, examining identity and technology. Deepa asks, "isn't it strange the lead actors should be so old? Would they really be grappling with issues of technology and acceptance at 45+?" Which is, really, an excellent point!
