Dance Like a Man is the Mousetrap of India: It is the country's longest-running English-language play. And now, after resonating with audiences in New Zealand, Kuala Lumpur and Brussels, this brilliant study of human relationships comes to Bullitt Cabaret at ACT. Written by Mahesh Dattani, one of India's most acclaimed contemporary playwrights, Dance Like a Man focuses on Jairaj and his wife Ratna--aging Bharatnatyam dancers--as they look forward to their daughter Lata's upcoming performance at a high-profile dance festival. Meanwhile, Lata nervously awaits the meeting between her parents and the man she wishes to marry. The power of tradition, the allure of rebellion and the dynamics of family are all explored in this riveting and wise drama. Agastya Kohli directs for A Contemporary Theatre.
Presented by Bullitt Cabaret
