←Recommendations of Seeker - अन्वेषक

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.

There is some very clear world-building that happens quickly and precisely, and the world COLE has created offers a unique vessel for an important message. The message is also beautifully presented and does not clobber you over the head with the point.

A unique take on a very loaded question nowadays. This sweet short play hits all the right notes and leaves the audience certainly feeling an emotion in the end on whether or not they would agree with the actions of the characters. Well done.

This beautiful short play explores personal choice and freedom in a powerful way. It has some good laughs mixed in as it explores how the elements of faith are each confronted with the fundamental question of love. In addition to being eloquently written, the play has plenty of great characters for an ensemble cast to dive into.

If only love was truly the finding principle of our world, both politically and morally, just think of what could be achieved in this world. This is a beautiful tale of being able to choose for yourself who you want to love and sadly, even in today's world there are so many Heroes who don't have that basic right all because some parts of the world are still dominated by the might of man and sadly religion which still keep women walking two steps behind instead of side by side.
