| Against all odds |
|
| One fine day I got not one but three phone calls inviting my play to Tripura, Kolkata and Mumbai. I couldn’t believe my luck, and was jumping with excitement. After all, we do not have agents or impresarios who push our plays into various festivals. So such offers are like lotteries. I immediately rang my stage manager (SM) to get on the job, and contact artistes, buy train tickets, prepare and send technical details to the organisers, et cetera. Before I could finish, he informed me that he was already employed, and would not be able to function as my SM for the tour. That did not dampen my enthusiasm. After all, finding another SM would not be that difficult. And sure enough, I found another young theatre enthusiast ready to take on the task. It is another matter that I had to start from scratch with him, beginning with listing out the duties and responsibilities of an SM.
