Tribals, Dalits, and farmers in various parts of Odisha have been continuing their struggle peacefully to protect their life and livelihood : land and forest. Because various companies and the government are trying to snatch away their livelihood so such a struggle has become necessary for them. During the previous BJD government, at those areas a parallel group of “company supporters” was created after labelling the villagers who were fighting for their rights as “company opponents”.

Tempest Theatre’s one hour adaptation strips Chekhov’s original Three Sisters to its essence. A visually beautiful, quite poetic production, it looks at the women’s lack of choice, and how they are trapped by circumstances, giving us a much more sympathetic and relatable tale that resonates more strongly with the audience.

Roleystone Theatre delivered three very different one act plays as part of a very short one act season. With two locally written shows, one of which was a musical and a Russian classic, it was certainly a diverse selection. First up was Aydee Bull's new youth musical Mr Notahero and the Horrors of Science. Performed by a teenage cast, the story features an unassuming chemistry teacher Mr Notahero, whose secret alter-ego is a superhero.

Anton Chekhov (Trans. Ronald Wilks) Penguin Classics, 2004, PB, 240pp, £9.78, 978-0140448986There’s much to be said for short novels you can read in a couple of evenings, without the commitment needed for a blockbuster. If you’re looking for a great example, I’d recommend The Shooting Party by the Russian dramatist, Anton Chekhov. He wrote it in his early 20s in 1884, the year he qualified as a doctor.

So, as of today, I’d like to revert back to our usual schedule: Office Hours for all subscribers on Thursdays, and, on Sundays, work on published stories. As we get back to our work on stories, I want to try to broaden our field of vision in two ways: first, by reading more contemporary work, and second, by reading more internationally. As I’ve mentioned here before, reading contemporary work offers some challenges in obtaining permissions, but I’m working on some ideas - bear with me.
