The staging of Sutradhar’s “The Untouched”, a Marathi play translated by Vinay Varma and directed by Prof Bhaskar Shewalkar, saw a gripping performance by Deepthi Girgotra and Aditi Sharma. The thought-provoking play takes you through the story of Julie, a crippled girl who comes from an extremely well to-do family.
On one side, her zest to experience life never dies and on the flip side, she is frustrated and yearns for love, companionship and a mate who will understand her.
Despite being on the brink of death, she longs for a certain kind of fulfillment, even if it’s just for one night. Her only companion is the nurse who takes care of her. Aditi, who played. Julie, did a seamless job with perfect dialogue
delivery and expressions. Deepthi played her part well as the extremely caring and friendly nurse.
