Black With ‘Equal’ offers a sharp analysis of the seedy, selfish and mean aspects of middle-class society in urban India. A general Body meeting held at Jagruti Cooperative Housing society starts off well but ends in the unpredictable. The play depicts the human mind descending to abject evilness.’Collaborators’ is a blend of dark humour and a seething disquiet waiting to shelter all the conventions of polite society. In this play Ramu Ramanathan has marvelously succeeded in stimulating the passivity of minds that may have submitted the ordinariness of life.
