Dear all:
some event/film that you may want to write about; it is organized by John Wojdylo from the NU's G30 faculty.
As a special treat to G30 cinephiles and all lovers of great literature, we proudly present Peter Brook's "The Mahabharata", which is a special film adaptation of his 9-hour play of the same name, which toured the world in 1985-1989. Brook is one of the best living theatre directors.
"In general terms, the story involves epic incidents between two warring families, the Pandavas (representing the good side) and the Kauravas(representing the bad side). Both sides, being the offspring of kings and gods, fight for dominion. They have both been advised by the godKrishna to live in harmony and abstain from the bloody lust for power. Yet their fights come to threaten the very order of the Universe. The plot is framed by a dialogue between the Brahmin sage Vyasa and the Hindu deity Ganesha, and directed towards an unnamed Indian boy who comes to him inquiring about the story of the human race.

The attached flyer has a few more details.
See you at Craig's Cafe 7pm on Friday!
