Rajat Kapoor's 'Macbeth', a social satire, wows Kolkata
'What is done is done' is a modern take on the age old play, with Ranvir Shorey, Kalki Koechlin, Vinay Pathak and Tillotama Shome dishing out strong performances.
Almost any play with such a lineup is bound to do well and did so, but what kept the audience ticking was the practical one liners with their subtle disguise.
Shorey portraying the lead, was a treat to watch as was Kalki, Tillotama and Sheena Khalid, who all played Lady Macbeth.
Vinay Pathak and Sim Sarbh who had the most funny lines, delivered a critical commentary towards the end that touched topics such as rape, hatred and intolerance.
The director took freedom to change certain characters and scenes from the actual play, and introduced new ones, his own.
This was also What is done is done's premiere production.
