The Irony Mask

January 14, 2012

Cho Ramaswamy is known to TV audiences as a political commentator who untangles for distant observers the inner drama within the political parties of Tamil Nadu. He has had a successful career in drama (playwright, director and actor),in cinema, in journalism (both as a columnist and as an intrepid editor). My focus is on one of Chaos early plays Saraswathi Saptami a play that captures the spirit of irony embedded in Madras (as it was then called),a play that describes the making of cinema in India with a detached sense of humor, a play which in many ways is a commentary on the messy country we live in. Saraswathi Saptami did not get the same popular acclaim as his other plays like Madras by Night and Tughluk.
