Guild of Actors at SPJIMR-Mumbai Stages Award Winning Play, "Harvest"

Previous

Harvest won the 1997 Onassis Prize as the Best New International Play. It's a play where good fortune comes at a terrible cost in a futuristic world which is centred on organ trade in India. The play starts with the young, unemployed Om
after he lands a coveted job at the mammoth Inter-Planta Services Corporation, his slum life (and that of his Indian family) is transformed overnight. Om has signed away his body parts, in a Faustian exchange for luxuries. The new world order is comprised of Receivers and Donors. In the colonialism of the future, the dominant group will pay handsomely for the right to harvest the healthy organs of the 'willing' donors.

What followed was a gripping 2+ hours of strong performances from the entire cast with each and every member who took stage even for a second making his/her presence felt. Jaya (Apeksha Patel) with the pure strength of her character, Om (Abhinay N.) with a perennial anxiety on his face, Jeetu (Mohit R.) with his flamboyance, Ma (Harini V. K.) with her insouciance, Ginni (Sreelakshmi Hariharan) with her surreptitious and seductive ways, and the guards (Dilip, Deepti & Varun) with their clinical efficiency and no nonsense attitude formed the crux of the cast that left the crowd asking for more.

Supported by strong performances from Bidyut Bhai (Lisa John) and the Videocouch Enterprise Agents (Ankur Dey & Manik Singh), the entire cast held the audience's nerve for over 2 hours in what proved to be an amazing display of energy, character and mettle. Backed by a great production team, the play gave all those present multiple reasons to remember the performance. What started out over five months ago with a group of theatre enthusiasts wanting to put up a good play ended up as a passion that each GASPian would carry for the rest of his/her life. Led by Ajay Simha and Deepak Ramakrishnan (Directors) and Ahmed Shariq Mamsa (Production Head), the group took a bow to the thunderous applause that resounded the auditorium for several minutes after the play ended. Whilst the entire team took stage to a standing ovation, it was clear that every person standing there on stage that day and every member in the audience would remember that moment for a long time to come. It was the day that had transformed several people for the rest of their lives and given them something to cherish and be proud of for years to come.

So, after more than a thousand hours of sheer hard work, after all the pain, all the commitment, GASP managed to live up to all the expectations and also live up to all the standards that had been set over time. It had in its very own way, set new standards for the years to come and memories to be cherished for a lifetime.

Concluded.
