Agree with Vin, totally !!

Vin : u took the words outta my mouth !! AVOID 1-888.. AT ALL COSTS, PEOPLE !! Supposed to b a satire on hedonistic, opportunistic corporate India and obsession with outsourcing !! Turns out 2b neither that or absurdist !! Has a loutish, sexist corporate honcho RAvi Gupta with his new business model and his two employees, one who comes with call-centre experience and yet cant get the accent right - the other has a whacked-out sister od-ing on the web. Strangely, a firang nun is called in for accent-training - why ? no explanation. For all the yak!yak! that ravi Gupta does abt "new India" thruout the play, v eeriely occupying pride of place in the play is "pole-dancing" -- really, did the playwright OD on TimeOut Mumbai ????

& who would discuss business models, let alone part with money with such a boor as Ravi Gupta - representing the New India, really Mr Playwright ?

And the set design does nothing to evoke a real call centre work environ - the backdrop in orange with white rays across it - slide projection thereon either cut off by furniture shadows or barely discernible.

I didnt even bother to clap when the cast tooke their curtain call. I believe it was "groupies" who actally gave a standing ovation and woo-hoo-ing away was Raell herself and mayb one of her crew ! Really, now !!!

Why is the producer of this play not in the list of credits??
Is he playing safe if the play bombs??

If u'v read the preview write-ups, u will realise it is Raell Padamsee who produced this play. I believe on the program of the play (which I tore up in disgut as I walked out after the play) it is listed as RAELL PADAMSEE's ACE PRDUCTIONS Presents 1-888-Dial-India - wot's left to say abt bombing or not of the play when Opening Night wasnt even houseful ?
