‘Siasat@8PM’ is the latest production of Theatre Wallay. It focuses on the absurdity of the prime time talk shows and the political leaders. The play consists of two acts. The second act is set 5 years apart from the first one. Both the acts are set in election years. First act focuses on traditional political leaders, while the second act focuses on the two buzz words of recent elections “change” and “naya”, and comes with a set of new or emerging leaders. Both the groups claim that they are worried about the poverty stricken masses, and want to change their lot. “Siasat @ 8PM” puts their claims in perspective, and shows what is right or wrong with them.
