Quotes yeah umm, I have seen you in a couple of productions. One of the things I’ve noticed is that, in most plays that you are doing you’ve always played some very significant roles. Sometimes the lead roles which suggest that you are obviously a very strong and talented actress. Now can you share some of the experiences of the plays that you’ve done as a kind of a preamble to what we are going to be discussing today. Most of these plays that you mentioned, maybe one or two, just give us a background into the experience, some kind of a synopsis and later we talk about what connects them in terms of tragedy. I said that earlier, that most of these plays are tragedies in some way. From your experience of being involved in most of these plays how would you describe tragedy to people, how would you explain it, in your own words, what is tragedy? So you talk about tragedy being the infliction of pain.So, are you saying that a play like that, apart from the fact that it reflects a society of us, you think it gives us another idea about what it means for a situation to be tragic? So you are saying that, that kind of a tragedy apart from the fact that it is dramatised onstage in a play like Scar, it reflects some of the inner workings, the relationship that is still going on among the people. So if you look at this incident that you just mentioned now, two now. You have a young boy whose father was- who was turned into a… you know… a kind of a cocaine courier, drug addict. And we have a paedophile who was trying to abuse a young girl, right in the public bus. If you sum up these things together, these two incidents, these tragic incidents, how then can you begin to conceptualise tragedy even outside of the stage performance?
