This Sri Theatre Company has packaged a rib tickling comedy about a young girl forced into marriage with a boy she barely knows. Rukaiya is ambitious and smart however she fears that marriage might dampen her spirits. But what to do? The couple must get to know each other or they are to head for a divorce in no time. They must weigh love over trust, destiny over freewill, the new world over the old.
The play revolves around a Muslim family. Sri Theatre Company believes, this is the first time in Sri Lankan theatre that non Muslims have the opportunity to enjoy the inconsistencies and jolly traditions observed by Muslims. The cast for this play will include Sri Theatre company regulars Ruwanthi as Zeena, Anaz as Feroze, Siddath as Nazeer and Rochana as Rukaiya.
Sri Theatre company believes that this play will change the way people think about another’s religion and realize that in Sri Lanka all religions adhere to a uniquely Lankan set of taboos and traditions.
Written and directed by Aslam Marikkar To be or Knot to be will be staged at the Trinity College, Kandy on April 27 and 28 at 7.30 pm.
