A theatrical adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novella presented in English   

Performed and Directed by Manjari Kaul

 

The news of a young woman’s lost honour spreads like wild fire in the town; a murder follows, but this narrative is no thriller. Before the crime is even committed, the whole village knows the where, when and why of it all. The performance is an unusual combination of the use of storytelling technique and characters' first person accounts that are sometimes varying, some similar, some shaky, at times minutely detailed and some fading recollections of the murder
