    This was a delightful rendition of a fable in a modern setting.

    In "Seeker," Debra A. Cole covers a lot of hallowed ground in just 10 minutes, demonstrating that dogmatic disagreements may often be more contrived than complex. What a gift we're given in this opportunity to sift through the cast of emotions and convention that often drives knee-jerk thinking. I love a play that both entertains (there are some very funny moments!) and educates, and this play succeeds at both — making a clear point for consideration while not falling into a dogmatic trap itself, and leaving us with a satisfying ending as the cherry on top!

    "Seeker - अनेषक" by Debra A. Cole is a thought-provoking play that explores themes of faith, dogma, and the power of asking the right question. The play blends ancient Sanskrit drama influences with a contemporary setting, creating a unique and reflective atmosphere. This beautiful tale highlights the importance of choosing who you want to love, a fundamental right still denied to many. The play underscores the ongoing struggle against patriarchal and religious forces that keep women from walking side by side with men.
