Rage Productions - Flowers at Prithvi Theatre

Girish Karnads new play is a dramatic monologue about a devoted and pious priest who violates both his dharma and his bhakti because of his love for a courtesan. Torn between his love for his God and his love for Chandravati, between his duty to the king and his duty to his wife, the priest tells the story of his life after matters have come to a head and all his loves and duties collide on a single night. Once again, Karnad takes a folk tale about the human condition and refreshes it with a contemporary sensibility that embraces love, loyalty and honor.
