Mysore/Mysuru: Rangavalli, Mysuru, is staging the Kannada comedy play ‘Samsaradalli Sanidapa’ based on K.V. Akshara’s translation of 'The Virtuous Burglar,' which is one of best known farce by Dario Fo. The play is directed by Raviprasad.
The play is set in the contemporary time and deals with the consequences of a burglary which starts out badly and just goes downhill from there on. A burglar breaks into the flat of a well to do man. But whilst he is “at work”, his wife rings him and nags him as only a wife can nag a husband. Then, to make matters worse, the owner returns unexpectedly, bringing with him his lover. One by one, various people enter the flat without knowing what exactly is happening and who is involved with whom. Eight characters locked in a flat that they would each prefer not to be in are tangled in a web of marital intrigue that would take quite a few spiders to spin.
