The Bourgeois Gentilhomme, 1994Directed by Jatinder Verma The classic Moliere story transported to 17th century Pondicherry, the French colony in South India. So the farce focused on another type of the emergent 17th-18th century "bourgeoisie": the colonised who chose to mimick their colonisers- aptly caught in the modern epithet of "coconut" (brown on the outside and white inside). Cast: Vincent Ebrahim, Richard Santhiri, Ravin J Ganatra, Josephine Welcome, Cuckoo Parameswaran, Yogesh Bhatt, Kumiko Mendl, Joji Hirota, Kumiko Mendl & Vincent Ebrahim |
