Theatre Marina’s Anniyal explores the fragile nature of self-perception through a Tamil adaptation of Girish Karnad’s Broken Images

The Hindu  

Theatre Marina’s Anniyal, staged in Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, is a Tamil adaptation of Girish Karnad’s play Odakalu Bimba.

Latha was brilliant showing Anjali’s transition from a supremely confident author to the guilt-ridden sister with a dark secret.
