South Asian Theatre with Universal Appeal

Chaos Theory

Palo Alto – Oct 2015, Houston, Palo Alto – Oct 2016

Produced and Presented by: EnActe Arts

Written By: Anuvab Pal

Director: Vinita Sud Belani

Two particles meet but never collide. The charm of romance comes from its impossibility. Two irreverent professors – Sunita, a die-hard Columbia gal (Kate Winslet meets Sharmila Tagore) and Mukesh, the Harvard guy (Naseerudin Shah meets Jeremy Irons), verbal duelists and derisive cohorts, opt for the ephemeral and the fragile over the mundane minutiae of daily life in their 30+ year relationship.
