Dramanon Presents "Alarms & Excursions" - An English Comedy at Ranga Shankara June 5, 2009

Alarms and Excursions by Michael Frayn , is both farcical and comic. The play comprises of two playlets that share a central theme: a humorous & critical commentary on disconnection between people . The play explores the obtuse humor in our off the hook relationship with ourselves and with each other - and the resulting tragi-comedy of such a set up. The first playlet "Doubles" involves two couples who check into identical hotel rooms next to each other. Their rooms, which are mirror images of each other, are seperated by thin walls. Through the play, we slowly discover that the only thing that eventually separates them is not the physical wall between the rooms, but the invisible walls between each other . The second playlet "Immobiles," is an expose of human disconnection in a world without mobile phones . A frustrated couple tries to coordinate a proper meeting place using an answering machine and coin operated phone booth for their foreign friend when he arrives at the airport. Broken bones and broken hearts are the result of this techno faux pas.
