Watched a play called Chap­ter 2 put on by this group called Evam and quite enjoyed it.

The play cen­tres around a wid­ower strug­gling to over­come his grief and a recent divorcee, both equally appre­hen­sive about begin­ning chap­ter 2 of their lives. While the set­ting is New York city, the sit­u­a­tion is uni­ver­sal : rela­tion­ships, love, loss, betrayal. It had four char­ac­ters, some funny witty dia­logues and decent per­for­mances by all the actors. Evem is an Eng­lish the­atre group from Chen­nai. If you do get a chance, the play’s worth watching.

Chap­ter 2 has been adapted into a movie too, but the orig­i­nal play was writ­ten by play­wright Neil Simon and first per­formed in 1977 at the Impe­r­ial The­atre, New York City.

This is what Neil Simon had to say about it: “Admit­tedly a self-portrait, [Chap­ter Two] was the most painful play to write because it dealt with the most painful part of my life.”
