Synonymous with some of landmark drama productions, say Ghalib In New Delhi, Maulana Azad, K. L. Saigal, Sahreek-e-Ghalib, Rahe Naam & Ghalib in the recent history of Indian theater, Pierrot’s Troupe brings, this time around BIG B.

‘Big B’???? No, not Mr. Bachchan, it’s Mr. Premchan(d). It’s the English and the dramatic version of the latter’s celebrated Hindi short-story ‘Bade Bhai Saheb’.

The first of its kind …… the first ever in ‘broken English’. Savor it:

“Do not go outside, it is very nighty”. “I am well but my brother is in well”. “Knife without K is like Chaku without Cha, only Ku… Churi without Chu, only Ri..

It’s about two ‘English-educated-Hindi-speaking’ brothers --- the ‘studious’ Kamta Prasad and the ‘sporty’ Samta Prasad. No wonder, the play revolves around History & Hockey, Geography & Gilli Danda and Chemistry & Cricket. And also Rekha Ganit…. Kamta’s favorite … as ‘Rekha’ is his heartthrob and the daughter of ‘Ganit’ teacher. So also Algebra, defined by Samta as “a subject on which even ‘Allah’ has no ‘Jabr’.

In addition…. Well! The rest on Sept 28 only.
