Mumbai, 24th Jan 2018:
One of the most exciting and engaging story telling formats in any art form is a legal drama. As an audience one is always trying to figure out who is guilty in a legal drama. Here’s that opportunity for audiences in India to play jurors. The theatre company Making Noise is all set to stage a masterpiece described by Russian-American novelist Ayn Rand as the most difficult of her books to write. A courtroom drama that will keep you at the edge of your seats – ‘THE WOMAN ON TRIAL’ inspired by Ayn Rand’s ’THE NIGHT OF JANUARY 16TH’. The play will be staged at St. Andrews Auditorium, Bandra on 3rd Feb 2018.
Ayn Rand was a Russian-American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter. The Woman On Trial is an Indian, bilingual (English and Hindi) adaptation of the famous play by Ayn Rand-The Night of January 16th. A play that makes one question the fundamental concept of what is right and what is wrong. A play that makes you think if it is right to condemn a person only because they are different from others. Night of January 16th is a theatrical play by author Ayn Rand, inspired by the death of the "Match King", Ivar Kreuger. Set in a courtroom during a murder trial, an unusual feature of the play is that members of the audience are chosen to play the jury. The Woman On Trial have already performed 3 shows of this play at alternate theatre spaces like Over Act and Whistling Woods.
The theatre company Making Noise was started by two lunatics spearheading a bunch of equally enthusiastic people.
