Nine Faces of Being
by Anita Nair
Mistress

From the first moment of their meeting each other, Radha and her uncle find themselves strangely drawn to the thoughtful young man and his incessant questions about the past. In the weeks that follow, his presence seems to tear the veil off the silent blankness of their lives: Radha's relationship with her husband Shyam comes to a head when she falls passionately in lust with their secretive young visitor; Uncle who watches the Radha-Chris love affair unfold seeks to caution them of passion's turbulent path by retelling the astonishing tale of Angela and his love affair, and in the process is forced to confront his past.
Moving seamlessly from one voice and experience to the other, this ambitious new play written in nine scenes is a deeply affecting exploration of the search for meaning in life and in art.
