The Director’s Note

The scripts of the “Nilak balamuda” drama written by two writters. In this script they are implying to discuss about social issues around women and that matter stimulated me to direct the drama. Both young ladies are questioning socially authorised facts like cultura, ethics and values. Further, they are challenging women’s life decision making rules culture and values made by the society. This drama based on a real incident of the university community revealed the uncovered truth. A lady whose name is Kulani owned by the manhood in the society. finally, she accepted the common social standards and drama shows us how women think about other women. also this context is very logical. If a lady watches a porn films it is an offence in the community. They are restricted. In the drama they also watching a porn films and they were thinking that they might get caught by some one. Then, they plan to steal because of the culture. They thought, stealing is better than getting caught watching a porn films. So women has no power against the culture and they are just a part of it. As a directress I send the massage of breaking these standards in front of the audience. Some social phenomena like women, politics, education, culture are questioned by the two ladies through out the drama.
