Review: The Play A Walk In The Woods
A Walk In The Woods Note: This is an independent review of the play held on August 17 2012 at Chowdiah Memorial Hall. The Play: A Walk In The Woods The Cast: Rajit Kapur and Naseeruddin Shah History: This play has been adapted from the original with the same name by Lee Blessing. Lee was inspired by a real incident happened in 1982 in Geneva when the two negotiators Paul H. Nitze (USA) and Yuli A. Kvitsinsky (USSR) left for an unofficial walk in the woods and came up with a breakthrough. The breakthrough was rejected pretty soon by their respective governments. This piece of USA-USSR history draws tremendous parallels to that of India-Pakistan and the duo Faishal Rashid and Randeep Hooda do just an impeccable job there in this sub-continental adaptation of the play. Adapted By: Faisal Rashid and Randeep Hooda Directed By: Ratna Pathak Shah (Debutant direction) The Prelude to the Play: Riding on a borrowed bike and the beautiful voice
