Last month, we read David Mamet's "Speed-The-Plow" - a satirical dissection of the American movie business. A film producer faces the ultimate dilemma.
His best friend brings him the movie that will make his fortune; a beautiful girl offers him the movie that will save his soul. He only has one choice. In this tale of greed, seduction and power everything he believes in will be put to the test.
Similar to last month, there was a downpour. But this time of people. Anukool was packed with more than 25 people filling Q's drawing room to read the play. Some even came with cakes and cookies for all! Thank you Facebook.
In the month of October, we will be reading Tom Stoppards "Rock 'n' Roll". The plays throws light on the significance of rock and roll in the emergence of the d
emocratic movement in Eastern Bloc Czechoslovakia between the Prague Spring of 1968 and the Velvet Revolution of 1989.
The play is, amongst many other things, a hymn to Pan. It starts in a Cambridge garden in 1968 with a piper playing the Syd Barrett song, Golden Hair. It ends in Prague in 1990 with the film of a Rolling Stones concert led by Mick jagger. And, although Stoppard's play deals with Marxism, materialism and Sapphic poetry, it is above all a celebration of the pagan spirit embodied by rock n' roll.
