Seattle Maharashtra Mandal cordially welcomes you to the next program of the year 2012 - Aasu Ani Hasu. Originally conceived by Prof. Vasant Kanetkar, but carried to completion by P. L. Mayekar (after Prof. Kanetkar’s demise), this play looks at both sides of the coin of life. It is the only play in the history of the Marathi Theatre that has presented a theme in this form. The story is based on the delicate relationship between a couple and how it is shaped by their attitude towards each other and towards life. The play subtly portrays a life lesson that we can all use on a day-to-day basis. Come and watch this unique drama unfold through its two acts.
