Magic Lantern is back, this time with Minnal Ravi, an adaptation of Nobel Laureate Dario Fo’s The Virtuous Burglar. A comic play that addresses issues of social morality.

Operating on two premises - that a politician is similar the world over and hypocrisy is universal - this play is about a man who is where he is not supposed to be. Minnal Ravi (played by E Kumaravel), a naïve burglar, enters a house with one simple aim. Little realising the confusion that was awaiting him. The comic situations that follow make the play a laugh riot.

As has been the case with other Magic Lantern plays, Minnal Ravi is adapted to the Indian context and the cast includes some of the best actors in current Tamil theatre.

The cast has E Kumaravel, Devika Mohan, J Jayakumar, Prema Venkateshwaran, Radha Kannan, SriKrishna Dayal and Rajasekar. Coming up with live music for the play is K S Karuna Prasad. Directed by Hans Kaushik, the play will be staged at the Sivakami Petachi Auditorium at the M CT M School, Luz Church Road, Mylapore on February 14, 15 at 7 p.m. On February 16, there will be two shows - at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.

The tickets, priced at Rs 250, Rs 100 and Rs 50, are available at Landmark, Odyssey, Alliance Francaise and at the venue (only on the days of the play).
