NetSAP brings ‘Indian Ink’ to Boston in theater effort... Play set in colonial times, resonates with immigrants
- India New England

NetSAP and Small World Big Sky bring a worthwhile production to Boston, especially since South Asian theatre, unlike cinema and literature, is so rare a medium here and far less patronized. This is the third year NetSAP Theatrics brings a play to Boston, and it is also commendable of Small World Big Sky to take on a play with such a strong South Asian theme.

NetSAP-Boston Press Release:
On June 23 at 8 pm in the Plaza Theatre located in heart of Boston's South End, NetSAP-Boston hosted one of the nights of production of Indian Ink in conjuction with Small World Big Sky Productions, providing discounted prices to members and non-members. The show was a success, as it had been other nights of production. The audience was impressed by the actors and organized production sets. The play centered around the main character, Flora Crewe, played by Janelle Mills, and provided an interesting insight into an independent and thought-provoking British woman living in India during the 1930s. The characters revolving around her life provided entertainment and pause for thought at the life of Flora Crewe. Especially of curiosity was her relationship with Nirad Das, played by Bharat Bhushan, friend or lover?

The cast are to be commended for their endurance through many days and nights of performance. The stage crew put on a professional setup for the play. The production company, Small World Big Sky (SWBS), under the leadership of Sarah Krohn (director and producer) is a small organization trying to expand and grow and are certainly learning about the difficulties of putting such a production together and coordinating assignments through production and direction. However, they have managed to pull off a succesful production. Netsap-Boston assisted SWBS in the production aspects via Usha Govindarajulu as as Associate Producer.

Netsap-Boston was pleased to partake in one of these nights and to promote South Asian culture through this medium. Members of Netsap-Boston and TiE were part of the audience and added to the diversity enhanced through the play. The audience had a chance to interact with the cast/crew after the play at Masa Restaurant, a few steps from the theatre. Netsap-Boston appreciates the success of Indian Ink and hopes to promote future productions which incorporate South Asian participation and culture.

Sincerely,

Usha Govindarajulu
Theatrics Chair of NetSAP-Boston
