Poems by Vikram Seth and stories by James Thurber presented by Motley

Recitations by Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Heeba Shah and Kenny Desai

Produced by Jairaj Patil

This presentation is an indicator of the direction in which Motley has been moving for the last fifteen years – to perform on stage without trappings and to depend on words alone to convey character and story. These “fables of our times” draw amusing, perceptive and sometimes scary parallels between the best and worst of both animals and humans. It hopes to show to audiences of all ages especially school children that there is more to poetry than just rhyming couplets and more to stories than just happy endings
