And now for something completely different

Evam performed its latest play, "Python Hysteria 2- The Sequel", this sunday. And it was a smash hit. We rolled about in out seats, watching the best of Monty Python performed by an enthusiastic cast, that managed to keep the audience in fits of laughter from start to finish.

Its hard to decide which sketch I enjoyed the most.Was it the blancmanje UFO sighting, where the poor witness had to describe what he saw in a high pitch to the first attendant, a deep low voice to the second, and finally, a high speed ramble to the third. Or was it "The Producer", where six young writers struggle to keep up with a crackpot producer(Karthik Srinivasan), whose entire script revolves around a tree. Sunil as the chartered accountant who dreams of being a lion tamer for ant eaters was hilarious, and KK in a pink toga as Michelangelo produced the traditional slapping of the thighs in riotous laughter.

The only thing I could find wrong with the entire production, was that it ended too soon. Caps off.
