About
The Play
13 Margosa
Mahal, (a play in Kannada) is a haunting story which has been
everyone’s favourite for reasons unknown. Our main objective for
this play is that the audience laugh & get scared at the same
time. That's why the tag line "Horror was never so funny". Being
associated with theater we had this urge to create a thriller and
bring out the chills and thrills through it. 13 is our attempt to
create a play which will keep the audience interested throughout
and take them on a mysterious journey. With two up to the
brim full houses we are all looking forward to our three Friday
the 13th's shows in January, April and July of 2012.
The play
revolves around three men from the IT industry who are picked to
attend a conference in one of the famous hill stations of south
India. The story begins to grip the audience when the three
encounter spooky happenings around them and their so called paid
vacation turns into a scary experience. The play has five
supporting characters who play an equally important part in
generating the comedy, suspense & trills.

Music
Director: Raghu Dixit
Less said the better about one & only music
composer/singer/performer & his magnificent contribution for our
production. In his own words “When Sathish told me the idea of the
play I was mostly thinking about how it would feel. It had been a
while since I did any music for theatre. I know Sathish from theatre
& this is my small little contribution to his theatrical efforts &
great venture called Kala Soudha.” |
