I am seriously miffed at the tickets being priced so high. As it is, I find it difficult to accept the logic that Kannada plays should be priced less than non-Kannada plays; surely, there should be parity. The 49 rupee ticket has gone forever, a victim of inflation; but when a Kannada play is priced at Rs.70, why should one English play alone command a price of Rs.200? The last play by Evam had tickets priced at Rs.100.
Deponti,
I guess its a simple matter of demand n supply..
If ppl enjoyed the kannada serials ( maybe due to quality or story etc) more, then demand for it also would go up i guess and then you could charge more..
kannada plays, you mean, Krishnam, not serials! :) I think a LOT of people do watch Kannada serials (at very low cost, given the monthly subscription to cable!)
Yeah i meant plays.. :)
I loved a few kannada plays at the rangashankara but they were adaptations of english plays.. I know there are some good kannada writers out there but we are more content on producing s/w enggs than artists i guess :|
Well, there ARE some very good Kannada plays too…but there are fair plays and foul plays, in all langauages I must admit! Ranga Shankara is a 2km walk for me, so I go to most plays there.
I started by watching English versions of Kannada plays (this is especially possible with the plays of Girish Karnad) and then I started watching contemporary Kannada plays, and slowly my comprehension level is going up.It also helped that I have a good Kannadiga friend who explains the nuances sometimes.
H N Kalakshetra is a great venue for Kannada plays; that’s a slightly longer walk or bus ride for me.
