Rahu

An adaptation of Kurosawa’s Rashomon transposed to Punjab (and delivered in Punjabi, with English subtitles). A man is found dead and his wife abused; a bandit confesses, but the wife’s story is different – and the dead man himself has another story to tell … “The drama heightens as the characters navigate a world painted with shadows and uncertainty”.

The adaptor and director of the show, Shah Fahad, promises “the flavour of historic drama woven through innovative story-telling, hard hitting dialogue and performances that will leave [the audience] with an everlasting impact”. The show is one of two collaborations between DramaED Productions, Dubai’s own Tall Tales Production, and The Junction – the other play is Ketu, based on 12 Angry Men and showing on 2 February.
