Jack Daniel’s & Finlandia Present Internationally Acclaimed Musical Play, ‘Mahim Junction’by Sohaila Kapur
(NewDesignWorld Press Release Center) -- Evening of Saturday, April 18, 2009
Occasion: Jack Daniel’s and Finlandia presents a musical play ‘Mahim Junction’ by Sohaila Kapur
The Play: It was a night of evocative performances. Projecting the lives of slum-dwellers living next to railway tracks as a window to the state of the nation, Sohaila Kapur's musical 'Mahim Junction' draws a portrait of Mumbai with a whirlwind resonance of the golden era of Indian cinema. Set in idyllic times and wearing the guise of a Bollywood movie of yore; the play - originally called 'Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan' - was performed for the first time at the prestigious Traverse Theatre during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2002.
Written in 1998 by Kapur herself, it was subsequently invited by the British Arts Council to a six-city tour of Britain. This was followed by a successful tour of Singapore. On Saturday night the play had the appreciative audience spell bound.
