Few are well-known faces in the theatre circles for their power-packed performances in various plays over the years. Actors participating in this drama are all from Muscat. The audience will have the best of experience and critics opined that this play is not to be missed. True to the trademark Manjulan style of theatre, the play is to be enacted in a unique way, creating an additional stage using realistic properties. In brief, the play “Adaykka” describes the detachment of humans from Mother Nature by the influence of technology and the thirst to return to nature.
