Titled Mr Moon, Ms Sun and Mrs Crow, the play is written and directed by Shrestha himself. The play, based on a Korean folklore, was prepared under the supervision of Song Inhyun, director of the fest.
The play was staged twice at the recently-concluded fest and will also be staged at the upcoming Assitej Korea International Summer Festival.
“Mr Moon, Ms Sun and Mrs Crow was staged by molding it to a Nepali context,” actor Shrestha said. “Originally the play was titled Mr Moon and Ms Sun, but we added Mrs Crow for the bird is considered a harbinger of good news in Nepali culture… we’ve also weaved a Nepali folk song into the interplay.”
