SAVE THE DATE – PRINCE OF DELHI PALACE - NOV 17 - 19!
Desipina & Company kicks off Season 6 with The Prince of Delhi Palace a workshop production. Performances will be held November 17-19, 2007. Details coming soon on www.desipina.org! The play adapted from Shakespeare's Hamlet takes place in a curryshop following a father's demise by a poisoned pickle and a mother's remarriage to the father's twin. The son returns from abroad in search for one good memory of the dead man's worth amongst the turmeric stained dishes, the pungent losses and the salted scars he left behind.
In the process, he is forced to wonder if he can he remain true to his own values or will he just become "...his father's little monster. The offspring of his stain?"
