The Vitriol

It was the last drama in the drama festival organized by the insti, and it was staged by our boys’ hostel, the BHOS. Well, the representation was great, complete with dev-d songs ! and the subject … i don’t know what they actually tried to say. On the surface it was the cliche’d ‘you can seemingly not give a damn about the system but actually you’re meekly surrendering to it all the time’-type thing, but there are lots of situations and metaphors that need explaining.I

It’s on a hotshot, a little corrupt corporate guy, named P ( for protagonist, of the drama ), who has a flirtatious secy (who also acts as a pizza deliv. girl, a maid servant, and a poor woman), a jealous colleague Q ( who’s also seen as an intelligence head), a pair of peons, his father … all make appearences as other characters in the drama. P is held guilty by the system, though no one knows of what, and in course of time he finds himself lost amid the numerous hostilities that plie up against him and succumbs.Of course everything happens metaphorically. There was a vivid protrayal where his boss is showed as a judge who sits with cotton in his ears and a sunglass in eyes, with a balance in hand … he chooses to not see/ hear anything, … portraying the ‘andha kanoon’.

It’s really a job well done, … hats off. But i guess for some people things were a bit too much !! And the main thing is the significance of the name … everyone’s got different interpretations …
