2025 Audience Reviews

Company: SAATH
Show: Manasu - Echoes of the Mind
Venue: Rarig Nolte Xperimental Theatre

Warm yet hard hitting

The most complex topics in the world : the idea of childbirth, the morality around the choice of giving birth or not, Parenthood and it's struggles, queer couples and the mono lens we look at them through....were dished out like a sweet dessert or warm coffee, rather than lectures talking in absolutes. Through an amazing cast, and beautiful writing by the never-disappointing SAATH folks. Divya Maiya in her writing debut did what I thought was an unbelievably complex job of addressing so much in a 1 hour show yet never felt like too much was crammed. The acting as always from SAATH is top notch. Madhu and Anjlai being the pros, but Tonushree in her debut held her own with a heartfelt performance. Please don't miss this show.
