Play in the dark

We went for a play on sunday evening. A black comedy, a political and situational satire spoofing the story of Mahabharata. Our ribs were hurting with all the laughing. That is, the play was good.

And the theatre was dark. Much dark. I've noticed that during plays, the theatre is much darker than during a movie. The darkness really takes you in. May be a play needs more concentration than a movie. Movies are anyway so dumb these days. Hmm.
