She also said that reading, researching, recreating and staging India’s epic ‘Ramayana’ in English in poetic drama form, has been both exhilarating and daunting, because of its classic weave of stories, characters and climes, themes of love, honour and separation and most importantly the victory of good over evil. It also comprises of hundred amateur actors and dancers of different ages from different walks of life, who are brought together by training and practice from past three weeks.

In order to bring in the epic flavour, the team determined to blend in the skills of drama and communication, classical music, song, dance and yakshagana.
