The 3rd and final day of the 5th Indian Screenwriters Conference (ISC) concluded on a beautiful note as 3 living legends Gulzar, writers Javed Siddiqui (Shatranj Ke Khiladi, Zubiedaa) and Kamlesh Pandey (Tezaab, Rang De Basanti) paid heartfelt tributes to 3 late legends - lyricist Shailendra (Guide, Mera Naam Joker), writer Dr. Rahi Masoom Raza (Mahabharat) and writer-filmmaker K. A. Abbas (Saat Hindustani, Mera Naam Joker).
Eugene O'Neill is the only American playwright ever to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature and he is a four-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize. Between 1920 and 1943, he completed 20 long plays, with several of them double and triple length. And unfortunately, the current Pacific Resident production comes in at over 3 hours, a trying time for a play with such dramatic verbiage that it is necessary to pay full attention throughout since O'Neill's brilliant writing is both incredibly introspective yet often very repetitive. So be sure not to eat a huge meal before attending so the urge to fall asleep does not overtake you.
