Contemporary English Drama in Pune
This lens is about contemporary English drama in Pune, India. The past is past. We're interested in what is happening now or going to happen soon.
I get to know of English drama in Pune quite early. I'll post what I know about contemporary efforts in English drama here. To check out my background, go to my website, http://deepakmorris.webs.com.
New scripts, new ventures in English Drama in Pune, India... whatever I find or know will be here.
I embrace "Hinglish" drama. It's the way we speak, so why not? Hence, "Malai Marke", Hindi in a lens about English Drama in Pune.
Explaining "Malai Marke" to a non-Hindi speaking audience is tough, though. It refers to sponsors' and patrons' demands to deliver theatre on call without factoring the cost and time of rehearsals.
"Ek" means "one".
The actual phrase one hears in Indian tea shops is, "Ek chai, malai marke." The patron asks for a cup of tea with cream. That gets delivered pretty quick in a tea shop, as you can imagine. Tea shops specialise in serving tea real quick.
