Calcutta, Dec 7, 2010 (Washington Bangla Radio) After a very
successful association with theater as a genre, the next step was to
further continue this association and take it a notch up. After a lot of
research, meeting with the best minds in the theatre circuit,
Ballentine's "Leave An Impression" brings to you a brand new under
production play Dinner With Friends - an intimate play
with a cast of four actors. This is a very eagerly awaited play from one
of India’s foremost theater directors.
Dinner With Friends
is a play about four friends - two married couples. We see both couples
at different ages and stages of their lives. We witness the effects of
the breakup of one couple on the other, who first feel compelled to
choose sides, and then begin to question the strength of their own
seemingly tranquil marriage.
The director Feroz Abbas Khan is a
multi faceted man – theater director, film director, playwright and
screenwriter. Every single of his theater productions have opened to a
full house at the box office and continue to run even today. His past
work include All the best, Saalgirah, Tumhari Amrita, Salesman Ramlal and Gandhi Viruddh Gandhi. His first film as a director ‘Gandhi, My Father’
won him critical acclaim. The film won him 2 national awards. After a
long break he is back to his first love ‘theater’ with his much awaited
play: 'Dinner With Friends'
Perizaad Zorabian, Tisca Chopra, Vinay Jain and Joy Sengupta form the cast of this much awaited play.
Sneak

Note about the award-winning Hindi feature film Gandhi My Father (2007): The DVD Release is available worldwide - order online here >
The world knows about Mahatma Gandhi's role in the Indian freedom
movement and as a social reformer. But there are large gaps in our
knowledge of Gandhi as a person and a family man, particularly the
tumultuous relationship with Harilal, his eldest son.
Set against
one of politically most turbulent times in India, the film tells an
intensely personal story of a father struggling to resolve the destinies
of his county and that of his son. Not to be forgotten is the role of
Gandhi's wife, Kasturba, who was caught between the traditional,
unquestioning loyalty of a Hindu wife to her husband and her love for
the son.
Mahatma Gandhi could transform the soul of a nation but could not save the soul of his own son.
