Wuthering Heights...Bollywood Style
Tonight I saw an interesting theatrical performance of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The only real difference is that this version was BOLLYWOOD. Okay so that's a BIG difference and it was quite an experiment. The ending was tweaked and a couple key parts of the story left out, but the bulk of it was true to the book. The play was lively, colorful, and musical. Every so often, the characters would break out into song and dance. The costumes were phenomenal and the set was quite amazing. I can't say that I'd go see it again, but it was definitely worth the cheap tickets we found. Not having read the book beforehand, I went in with an open mind and a smile and came out with jiggling shoulders and interesting hand gestures. Overall, it was a fun experience and I'm glad I went (once). Amundsen was the one who I went with and she made the event even more entertaining. Her laughter was infectious and her insight fantastic. When leaving the theater she found the script and purchased it. Now she can relive the excitement anytime she wants. I, on the otherhand, left only with memories and a song stuck in my head.
