Girish Karnad's latest play, WEDDING ALBUM, is a wonderful, comic drama that is deeply revelatory about the India that we live in today.

It is supported by the best possible technical crew.
Synopsis
Traditionally a girl married a boy from the neighbouring village. In the globalised village, this 'neighbourhood' can be any corner of the earth. In the past, the bridal couple often saw each other for the first time on the wedding podium. Today a million emails, SMSes, phone calls, tapes and scanned images introduce them to each other. Yet one element of the plot remains unchanged: the couple agrees to enter an unknown, uncharted territory-each other.
Wedding Album deals with an urban middle-class family: a daughter who lives abroad with her professional husband, a son who is a software designer, a younger daughter willing to marry a suitable boy from the US she has never met, a doting mother and a loyal cook. This is an educated, liberal and modern family. Each snapshot shows its members frozen in an attitude of respectability, yet each figure has a double image with a penumbra of a hidden life. Wedding Album is a hilarious and moving spectacle.
