About The Event
The Primetime Theatre Company’s latest production
‘Autobiography ‘is a brilliant quartet drama by the highly acclaimed Marathi playwright Mahesh Elkunchwar.
Directed by the well known and talented Lillete Dubey.
An ageing, much admired, charismatic writer Anantrao Rajadhyaksha dictates his autobiography to Pradnya , an irreverent, bright , sassy PhD researcher and in the process, talks about the controversial book on his love-life, which he had published earlier, where he spoke about his contemporaries, his troubled 30-year-old relationship with his wife Uttara , and his brief affair with Vasanti ( his sister in law ) and more.
All the characters share incidents and anecdotes in the present and from the past (many are flashback sequences), each giving their own version of the truth, so the audience is never quite sure where the truth really lies.
“Autobiography” is a story of what was, what could have been, and what remains .
Memories , truth, lies, and what lives in between.
Taut, gripping, dramatic and humorous it’s a rich and layered story from out of our best playwrights.
