A bold, punk rock theatrical journey through the Reagan era on stage

Rushmore, a play that blends history, adventure, and punk rock will have its second show in India at Bengaluru’s Ranga Shankara on September 7. The play directed by Monica Hunken, Theresa Buchheister, and Nehemiah Lucket takes audiences on an unconventional time travel adventure, led by a protagonist determined to rescue her mother from the conservative grip of the 1980s. However, to make the play travel friendly, the music has been recorded for the shows outside the U.S. says director Monica, who also plays the protagonist in the play. We create a character together with the audience, to change my mother’s life.“ She explains that though the context of the play is based on the Reagan era in the U.S., the play is relatable for audiences from across the globe.
