Actors Rajit Kapur and Shernaz Patel will attempt to bring laughter into our lives with their English play, The Siddhus Of Upper Juhu, to be staged at Ductac, Mall Of The Emirates, on October 15 and 16.
In the comedy directed by Rahul Da Cunha, Kapur and Patel play a middle-class couple living in a two-bedroom apartment in Mumbai’s popular Juhu locality, who are grappling with job loss, noisy neighbours and howling stray dogs on their streets.
“The Siddhus of Upper Juhu is a light, yet honest, attempt to highlight the troubles of living in a complex and bustling city like Mumbai. Some in the audience may even relate to the Siddhus; they may recognise a family member or a neighbour or a colleague in them. This very familiarity will touch a chord with the viewers who will find themselves completely involved in the family’s affairs, and yet at the same time will be laughing away at the entertaining action on the stage,” said organiser Dimple Mitra of ADSS, the company that’s bringing the play to the UAE.
The tickets to the 100-minute play cost Dh100, Dh200, Dh300 and Dh500. The play will be staged in Ductac on October 15 and 16 at 8pm. For tickets, call 04-3414777 or 04-4573212.
