A Night of Eugene O'Neill
Staged readings of two plays by Nobel Prize winning author, Eugene O'Neill, adapted and directed by Rasa Theater co-founder, Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj

Abortion
An affluent college student - a local girl - the tryst that leads to her death. At the height of his success, a rich, young man confronts the demons from his past. In one night, the destinies of two families are forever changed. Rajendra Maharaj transports Eugene O'Neil's work of desire, guilt and deception to 1920's India.

The Movie Man
Eugene O'Neill's comic and controversial tale of two men who dream of making it in the movies. The playwright of such 'light' fare as A Long Day's Journey Into Night and The Iceman Cometh satirizes the moviemaking process in this seldom enacted work.
These are initial readings of OíNeillís earlier plays that will continue to be adapted to a more South Asian realm.

• Priya taped a Television Pilot, POSSIBILITIES, for Earthlingua Productions! This pilot combined improvisational theatre with creative group therapy techniques.
