Gopal Sharman's internationally acclaimed theatre production The Ramayana was commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and was originally performed as a one-woman solo tour-de-force by celebrated actress Jalabala Vaidya, who played it to packed houses, rave reviews and standing ovations worldwide from the 70s through to the 90s creating dramatic history. The New York Times hailed it as Indias Gift to Broadway.
In the current production, Jalabala performs the opening and closing scenes of the play, while a cast of gifted actors performs the other scenes creating an exciting and innovative theatrical experience. The production retains the dramatic intensity of Gopal Sharman's play which explores the human characters of Rama and Sita with reverence, delicacy and insight, through some of the most exquisite stage writing in modern theatre.
