The Class Act, a Silly Point Production is set to be staged at the MLR Convention Centre. The play is an English comedy that revolves around the chaotic activities that ensue when four stereo-typical students, a veteran Hindu theatre artist from Delhi who believes in the sanctity of theatre, a 50-year-old Parsi bachelor who lives with his father and loves his bike, a typical laid back Goan Christian lad and the protagonist, a clean shaven Muslim man, come together to learn acting under the supervision of an aristocratic stiff upper lipped teacher. The chaos further accentuates when a fifth character, a wannabe actress joins the class. The Class Act stars Danesh Irani, Sajeel Parakh, Danesh Khambata Maanvi Gagroo, Afshad Kelawala and Meherzad Patel. Meherzad Patel, Director on re-launching the play says, “In The Class Act – the actors make up 50% of the script with their input and dedication to the play – the special novel brand of humour comes from us being one big happy family of actors – that’s what defines Silly Point Production – I can’t write without them and they can’t do this kind of comedy without me – every single actor brings so much to the table and adds so much that I refuse to take writer credit – for the class act – alone.”
Tarun Garg, Executive Vice President, Marketing -Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., says, “Theatre is one of the oldest and tasteful forms of entertainment that propagates our core thought of togetherness.
