A Peek at the Villi.

Following that captivating post on Draupadi, a little something on the dark side of the Mahabharata, the side that is usually never seen. Duryodhana. The eldest of the Kaurava brothers and the favourite of his blind father Dhritarastra. Universally seen as the antagonist, the person who torments the Pandavas and make their lives hell. He is an arrogant man with no sense of shame, for he chose to humiliate another's wife in front of an entire court.

What is his character like? Who is he as a person? Questions not often asked, for we tend go with the view of his being a villain, being ingrained into our heads by our grandparents. Well, here's where the the MCC Mahabharata story changes. This classic guy we barely know has transformed into a jazzy 70's cinema dude with much to say about himself. There is also a little twist in the story, involving someone quite unexpected. But for that, you'll need to actually come and see our play.

So be there, on the 26th of September, in the Ethiraj College Auditorium at Eleven am. It's going to be- wait for it- EPIC.
